FRISCO, Texas -- Six weeks ago today, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered a compression fracture in his back on a hit from Seattle Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril.
At the time of the injury, sources said Romo would need six to 10 weeks to recover before he could play again.
So what is Romo doing?
He had an MRI last week that showed encouraging signs. He has been out of what owner and general manager Jerry Jones called the "danger zone" for 2-3 weeks now, and has started to increase his strength and conditioning work.
