Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo left Thursday’s preseason game against the Seahawks with an apparent back injury after being sacked.
Romo left the game clutching his back after being sacked by Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril on his third play from scrimmage. Romo scrambled outside the pocket to his left and was chased down, landing awkwardly and hunching forward as he fell.
He walked off under his own power and was examined at length by training staff.
Romo, 36, played in just four games last season as a recurring shoulder injury kept him sidelined. He had missed just two games the previous four seasons.
