A Doctor’s Take On Tony Romo’s Injury: No Permanent Damage, No Surgery, Should Be Fine To Play Again

Dr. David Chao gives a detailed analysis of Tony Romo’s back situation based on the information that Romo has an L1 compression fracture.

For a few minutes on Thursday night, the Dallas Cowboys world stood still, with Tony Romo down on the field, clutching his back. It’s worth noting, by the way, that several Seattle Seahawks stayed nearby to check on Tony and make sure he was okay. The respect was nice to see.

A few minutes later, all seemed right with the world and Tony was begging to go back in.
