Cowboys' Romo set to miss four weeks with broken finger

"Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo throws down field against the Arizona Cardinals in the second quarter of NFL game in Glendale"
2008-10-13 18:11:56

DALLAS (Reuters) - Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo could be sidelined for up to four weeks with a broken finger, his team said Monday.

The Pro Bowler broke the little finger in his throwing hand during the first play of the 30-24 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals Sunday, the Cowboys (4-2) said on their website (www.dallascowboys.com).

Romo has started every regular season game since taking over from Drew Bledsoe during the 2006 campaign and completed 128-of-201 pass attempts for 1,689-yards and 14 touchdowns this season.

Brad Johnson, who guided the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the 2003 Super Bowl during his 15-season career, is expected to take over quarterbacking duties in Romo's absence.
