Cowboys’ Tony Romo expected to be out 8 weeks
By Mike Dyce
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is expected to be out eight weeks after fracturing his left clavicle.
The Dallas Cowboys’ season has come off the rails in just the second week of the season. After losing star and All-Pro wide receiver Dez Bryant in Week 1 to a broken foot, an injury expected to keep him out for roughly 10 weeks, quarterback Tony Romo went down with a shoulder injury.
Romo left the game and went to get x-rays and was diagnosed with a fractured left clavicle. Multiple reports say that Romo will be out for roughly eight weeks.
Source says early estimate for Romo's absence is eight weeks.

During the broadcast Erin Andrews reported that the Cowboys weren’t ready to make a decision for the long-term. Andrews reported that the Cowboys would conduct further tests when they returned to Dallas to determine the outlook.
With Bryant out it seems like the smart decision would be to not rush either back and just see how the season plays out.
Romo returned to the sidelines but had changed out of his uniform. He also had his left arm in a sling.
