Irving, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett did not reveal any details regarding Tony Romo’s injury in Tuesday’s press conference, but he did confirm linebacker Justin Durant has a torn biceps.<\/p>\n
Garrett hesitated to rule out Durant for the rest of the season, but said “it’s a serious injury” and the team will make a decision based on “how much time is left in the season and what the options are.”<\/p>\n
Durant suffered the injury during the second half of Monday’s 20-17 overtime loss to the Redskins. The weakside linebacker has emerged as a solid contributor to an already depleted defense and leads the team in tackles (49) despite missing two games.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys are already without star linebacker Sean Lee and will likely have to find a replacement for Durant given the nature of the injury.<\/p>\n
Romo, meanwhile, suffered what the team called a back contusion on Monday and there was no additional information at the time of Garrett’s presser.<\/p>\n
“We did X-rays at the stadium (on Monday) and that allowed us to say he could go back in (Monday’s game),” Garrett said. “We are doing additional scans to make sure if there’s anything else going on.”<\/p>\n
Romo exited early in the third quarter after taking a knee to his surgically repaired back. He returned for the final possession of regulation and overtime but was clearly limited in his abilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
