The decision on whether Tony Romo will be available on game day for the Dallas Cowboys has been moved from a medical decision to a coaching decision.
Romo has been recovering since suffering a compression fracture in his back during a preseason game in Seattle.
A final determination seems unlikely until late in the week.
"That will be a coaching decision,'' a source told ESPN.
Dak Prescott has led the Cowboys to a 7-1 record.
The Cowboys have not publicly committed to having Prescott continue as the starter when Romo is available, but there have been strong indications that is the plan.
