Tony Romo Out For Rest Of Year After Back Surgery
Head coach Jason Garrett said Romo underwent back surgery Friday morning that will place him on injured reserve, leaving Kyle Orton as the team’s starting quarterback going forward this season.
Garrett said the ultimate decision was to have the surgery taken care of sooner rather than later. The Cowboys wouldn't rule Romo out early in the week after initial reports Romo would be done for the year.
“We felt like the surgery went well, and Tony should be able to come home hopefully later today and start to begin his rehabilitation for the 2014 season.”
Garrett didn’t have a specific timetable at this point for Romo’s recovery, nor did he get into the specifics of the back surgery. He added that Romo, who was in the midst of one his best seasons with 31 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions, was thoroughly disappointed about the result.
“He’s devastated,” Garrett said. “He puts a lot into this.”
