According to Pro Football Talk, Tony Romo will not have surgery on his fractured clavicle, and he’ll miss around 8 weeks. With the Cowboys having a bye week during that stretch, Romo is set to return with six or seven games left in the season.
With their QB and star wide receiver now out for a majority of the season, the Cowboys’ odds to win the division certainly haven’t increased. And with the Giants and Redskins basically existing, the Eagles, incredibly, remain favorites [editor’s note: Vegas always knows]:
All eyes were on the offensive line yesterday, and they earned the glare. Lane Johnson knows why:
“It felt like everything was going wrong. When it rains it pours. I felt like we had a great week of practice. Just got out there and pissed on our leg — I don’t know what to tell you.”
The Eagles offensive line has been a highly-hyped mess through two games. It’s been quite the opposite in our national’s capital. The Washington Post has already issued an apology of sorts, noting that though they mocked the o-line in the preseason, the unit has actually played quite well so far. Here are some of their accomplishments, as pointed out by the Post:
“Helped Washington rack up consecutive 150-yard rushing games to open a season for just the third time since 1950.
Helped Washington hold the ball for at least 37 minutes in consecutive games for the first time since 1992 — which is generally considered the last season of the Hogs.
Allowed a total of three sacks in the team’s first two games. Against two of the NFL’s most imposing defensive lines. While starting a rookie and a barely-used second-year player.”
Bizarro NFL.
Taking it off of the gridiron, Steve Mason’s new mask turns Flyers legends and teammates into The Eagles The Walking Dead.
Hey, it’s almost hockey season.
