Tony Romo Available To Play In Week 9 If He Can Tolerate Pain

Oct 31, 2014 2:22 PM

Tony Romo will be available to play on Sunday for the Dallas Cowboys against the Arizona Cardinals if he can tolerate the pain in his back.

"We have nothing medically that would prevent him from playing," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Wednesday morning. "What I mean by that is there is nothing to his injury that won't function.

"This is a function of pain tolerance, [and] it is a serious issue. You could look at people who had similar-type contusions or a similar-type injury and haven't played the next week, so that would cause you some concern."

Romo needed surgery last December to repair a herniated disk.

NaVorro Bowman Getting Closer To Return, Running Faster Than Ever

Nov 5, 2014 6:29 PM

NaVorro Bowman is getting closer to returning to the San Francisco 49ers' lineup and has somehow gotten faster as he recovers from his ACL injury.

“I talked to him the other day in the weight room before I left and he was all excited ‘cause he had gotten to run a full-speed 40 for the first time in a long time and broke the 4.5 range — it was in the 4.5 range,” Trent Baalke said, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. “So he was all excited. But he’s coming along very well. When he’s set to return remains to be seen. But progressing well, as is Patrick (Willis).”

Bowman ran a 4.70 at the 2010 NFL Scouting Combine, and followed that up with a 4.62 at his pro day workout at Penn State.
