The Dallas Cowboys will face the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday night after a 10-day layoff. Here’s some of the latest updates:
Romo talks why he’s playing hurt
Last week, QB Tony Romo said that he had been playing with a broken rib along with a back injury.
Romo, 34, told the Dallas Morning News: “Football for me, it’s my life’s work.”
“That’s my career. I‘ll be a husband, I’ll be dad, and I'll have been a football player at the time when I finish on this Earth. In some ways, I want to give everything I can into being the best version of that I can be,” he added.
“There’s only 16 games a year, 16 days that you’re guaranteed, and you’re really not even guaranteed that. You just want to make sure you give everything you can. It’s a great, rewarding experience if you’re able to do that at a level that you feel proud of.”
Romo added that having 10 days off between games helps.
“I think just having a few more days off and the ability to take the week like we’ve normally been doing, I expect me and our team to be at our best come Sunday,” Romo said, reported ESPN.
