Tony Romo returns to Dallas Cowboys practice, goes through individual drills without pads

Tony Romo was back on the Cowboys practice field Wednesday for the first time since suffering a compression fracture in his back in a preseason game in late August.

Romo wasn't wearing pads but went through some individual drills with Dak Prescott and Mark Sanchez.

"We'll just take it day by day. He's had some good days of rehab lately," Jason Garrett said of Romo, the Cowboys' all-time passing leader.

Dallas hasn't given a specific timeline for a possible Romo return, but in his absence, Prescott and fellow rookie and NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott have spearheaded Dallas' 5-1 start and ascent to the top of the NFC East.
