ARLINGTON, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo watched Sundays game against the New York Giants from the sidelines. More importantly, he has seen improvement in the compression fracture in his back.Romo had X-rays last week, according to owner and general manager Jerry Jones, and the results were encouraging.Everything is fine, not fine, but is on go, Jones said. Nothing that would in any way get in the area of a setback.Romo had spent two weeks in a back brace after getting hurt Aug. 25 against the Seattle Seahawks. He did not appear to be in a brace at all Sunday.The Cowboys are carrying Romo on the active roster as he recovers. The hope is that he could return in mid- to late October, depending on how the Cowboys are performing. At the time of his injury, sources said he would need six to 10 weeks to recover. The Cowboys play at the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 16, followed by their bye week and an Oct. 30 meeting against the Philadelphia Eagles.Had the Cowboys put Romo on injured reserve last week, the earliest he could have played would have been Nov. 6 against the Cleveland Browns.Jones was unsure when Romo will be able to start any conditioning work.I think that has to do with his sense of how he feels, Jones said.Dak Prescott, who started in Romos absence and completed 25 of 45 passes for 227 yards without a touchdown or interception in a 20-19 loss to the Giants, said the veteran quarterbacks presence was a benefit Sunday.Hes a vet, hes a guy that sees and just talks to me on how to go out there and think about the play or something the defense may be giving me, Prescott said. But he definitely helped me out, him, Kellen [Moore], Mark [Sanchez] as well. Air Max 720 Uomo Saldi . Its an influence in football and a big part of the game. Air Max 270 Nere Scontate .
