Report: Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo unlikely to play Sunday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is unlikely to be active for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, even though he is healthy to play, reports ESPN.com's Adam Schefter and Adam Caplan.

Romo has been practicing this week and it was reported earlier this week that his availability to actually play in games will be left up to the coaching staff.

Romo has been out since he sustained a compression fracture in his back during the preseason and has not appeared in a regular season game since Nov. 26, 2015.

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett says that Romo is day-to-day and has been moving and throwing well in practice.
