The Cowboys don’t plan to sign another quarterback to the roster because they are so confident in Tony Romo’s health.

Just two days after Romo’s injury against the Eagles, swelling has already gone in Romo’s hand.

Asked Monday if Romo could grip a football, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Romo had a “relatively firm handshake.” So that’s good to know.

Further tests on Romo’s hand confirmed he suffered no breaks. He’s fully expected to start Sunday night against the Giants and it sounds like Romo may be able to practice on Wednesday.
