Cowboys QB Romo partied in Vegas to rest sore back

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo should not have had a good weekend because of his sore back which he had before the 24-7 win against the Oakland Raiders on Thanksgiving and was worsened after the game as Romo was hit hard on the first series.

However, the injury did not keep him out enjoy a weekend. Going to Vegas and partying with his teammate Miles Austin, and that seemed to be a good way for the quarterback to rest his sore back. Romo and Austin had some pictures taken without wearing their Cowboys jerseys by an anonymous photographer during the party in Vegas. Their own explanation for the pictures was that there were there to take part in a private charity event and were there for only 14 hours.

This weekend the Cowboys will have to play against division rival the New York Giants, who won the Cowboys narrowly at 33-31 in week 2. Hope the weekend spent in Vegas will work in improving Romo’s back condition so it won’t affect the quarterback’s performance in the game.

Cowboys practiced Wednesday with only two players skipping

On the rainy Wednesday, the Dallas Cowboys practiced at Southlake Carroll High School’s indoor facility, indoor for the first time since their indoor facility collapsed in May. Injured quarterback Tony Romo and running back Felix Jones both took part in the practice, with Mike Hamlin and Jason Williams becoming the only players who did not practice Wednesday.

Romo sprained his right ankle during a 34-21 victory over Tampa Bay, but did not miss any snaps in the game and expect to play against the New York Giants on Sunday night.

As for Jones, he bruised his thigh while playing against the Buccaneers. He returned to practice, too, but was limited. He played only six games as a rookie because of injuries and is expected to be a key part of the offense this season.
