Tony Romo gives Cowboys injury scare after only three plays

Tony Romo was forced to scramble on the third play from scrimmage in Thursday night's preseason game in Seattle. The outcome was less than desirable.

The Cowboys quarterback was sacked by Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril after Romo tried to escape the pocket. Problem is, Romo had already started to slide as Avril hit him from behind. Romo's torso was thrust forward toward his legs, essentially bending him in half. He immediately reached at his lower back and writhed on the ground in pain, causing Cowboys fans everywhere to panic.
