Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones defend bringing Romo back

Some questioned why the Cowboys brought Tony Romo back this season, and those questions only intensified it when the Cowboys quarterback was reinjured on Thursday. Jerry Jones and his son Stephen defended the team’s handling of Romo.

“We felt that the risk was worth the potential of having him be the impact that he can be and is on our team and really having a fairy-tale turnaround and doing something that was special,” Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News’s Brandon George.

Jones’s son Stephen, the team’s executive vice president, echoed those sentiments.

“There is always risk when you come back like that, but I still think that it was something everybody was comfortable with as far as when he returned,” Stephen Jones said.
