Sources: Romo's availability now up to coaches

When Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will next be in uniform and available on game day has moved from a medical decision to a coaching decision, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Romo has been recovering since suffering a compression fracture in his back during a preseason game in Seattle. Depending upon how he responds to more extensive work in practices this week, Romo could be in uniform for the first time this season when the Cowboys visit the Pitsburgh Steelers on Sunday, barring any physical setback.

A final determination seems unlikely until late in the week.
