Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo suffered a fractured left clavicle in the second quarter of the Cowboys’ 41-35 loss to the New York Giants at Cowboys Stadium.
According to Espn.com, Romo said he will undergo tests to determine the damage, but Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the quarterback could miss six to eight weeks.
“We’ll see if surgery is required,” Jones said. “If not, he’s going to have some time out. [Troy] Aikman was out four weeks with this and our [trainers] initially think six [weeks], possibly as long as eight [weeks], but we’ll see what his examination is.”
The Cowboys have fallen to 1-5 and have 10 weeks remaining to recover.
When Romo went down, the Cowboys were leading 10-7 and seemed to have everything going their way. But after Romo was injured, the Giants went on a 31-10 run to take a 38-20 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Romo finished the game 5-for-7 for 39 yards with one touchdown, a 4-yard pass to Witten in the first quarter.
In 2009, Romo was the first quarterback in franchise history to be on the field for every offensive snap.
The last time Romo missed a game due to injury was the 2008 season, when he broke a pinky and missed three games.
