Romo not put on IR as Cowboys leave door open

IRVING, Texas - While the Dallas Cowboys have said Tony Romo's season is over, they have yet to formally end it.

Why?

There is still hope, as faint as it may be.

"We're competitors," executive vice president Stephen Jones told ESPN.

Jones put Romo's recovery from the recent fracture of the quarterback's left collarbone at six to eight weeks, which could have him back for a possible wild-card playoff game or a conference championship game.

A CT scan last Friday showed Romo suffered a hairline fracture in the healed portion of the distal fracture he suffered earlier in the season.
