The Dallas Cowboys continue to bring Tony Romo back slowly as he has yet to fully participate in practices.

The Cowboys have exceeded expectations with Romo out due to the strong play of Dak Prescott.

"The Cowboys really don't know," Rapoport said when asked when Romo might return. "But it is important to note what actually happened in practice this week. I'm told it is merely a good start for Romo. He has not even taken real team reps yet, and until he does that, he's not even in consideration to be -- forget about the starter -- even the backup. So it certainly seems like the Cowboys are a little ways away from getting Romo on the field. Meanwhile, it seems like they are inclined to ride the hot hand, which means as long as Dak Prescott succeeds, expect him to stay in there."
