Tony Romo tweeted Monday that he won't need surgery on his broken collarbone.
But the Dallas Cowboys quarterback is still expected to miss about eight weeks while the injury heals, according to multiple media reports.
Romo suffered a fractured left clavicle during the Cowboys' 20-10 victory over Philadelphia on Sunday. He experienced a similar injury in Week 7 of the 2010 season and ended up missing the rest of the season.
The expected time frame would have Romo back sometime in mid-November, when the Cowboys play at Tampa Bay on Nov. 15 and at Miami on Nov.
