Romo exits with injury, returns

Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – Tony Romo left Monday night’s game against the Washington Redskins after aggravating a back injury, but the Cowboys quarterback returned late in the fourth quarter.

Early in the third, Romo dropped back on third down and was sacked by linebacker Keenan Robinson. Robinson appeared to inadvertently knee Romo in his surgically-repaired back, and Romo twisted as he went to the ground.

He remained on the turf in obvious pain for several minutes before being helped to the locker room, where he stayed until roughly five minutes in regulation remained in a 17-17 game.

Romo, who underwent surgery on his back following Week 16 last season and missed the Cowboys’ final game, was back on the field for final drive in regulation but did not lead Dallas past midfield.
