Tony Romo suffered two fractured transverse process in his back in the Dallas Cowboys' loss to Washington, but there remains a chance he can play on Sunday.

The Cowboys and Romo have stressed this is not related to the disk surgery he had last December and is not a threat to end his season.

ESPN's Ed Werder reported Romo would either start or be inactive against the Cardinals. He did not practice all week and is officially listed as questionable.

The transverse process is a small bone that sticks out from either side of the vertebrae.
