Tony Romo is expected to play Sunday despite a back injury he suffered Monday against Washington.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo had a CT scan on his injured back today, revealing that the injury is not something that will cause him to miss much time.

While the Cowboys had him rest Wednesday and he didn’t participate in Thursday morning walk-throughs, Jason Garrett is optimistic he can play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys are having a great season. They lost Monday night to the Washington Redskins which hurt them, but they still remain 6-2 and tied with Philadelphia for the NFC East lead.

It’s been the rushing game that has led Dallas to wins. Demarco Murray is the NFL‘s leading rusher with 1,054 yards and seven touchdowns.

Romo has played well also, ranked in the top half of NFL quarterbacks with 1,998 yards passing and 15 touchdowns.

While he appears to have structural damage in his back, he’s used to playing through pain and should be ready to go Sunday. If he’s not able to play, it will be Brandon Weeden who gets the start for the Cowboys.

It’s a very important home game for the Dallas Cowboys as the Arizona Cardinals sit at 6-1. The Cowboys do not want to drop two in a row here.
