We all know that Jerry Jones is the real head coach of the Cowboys, so Jason Garrett’s opinion on matters like if his injured quarterback returning to the game are null and void.
Dr. Jerry Jones had made his evaluation and that was that.
“I was here during the tail end of the examination and knew he planned to come back out and play if he were needed,” Jones said per Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Of course he was needed. I felt good that he could come back out. When he saw the opportunity he did. I told Jason that he would be back in.”
There is no structural damage to Romo’s back, but he had to take a pain killing injection to get back into the game. No one questions Romo’s toughness, but one can only hope that the Cowboys aren’t allowing him to take unnecessary risks.
