fingfootball Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) Per Rotoworld Romo showed up Tuesday morning "wearing a significant sized wrap on his right hand". They say he is still expected to start week 16. Has anyone heard anything else about this? Edited December 18, 2007 by fingfootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 http://cowboys.beloblog.com/archives/2007/...wrapped_up.html QB Tony Romo walked into the offices at Valley Ranch today wearing a heavy wrap over his right hand. It seemed like bags of ice, held on with Ace bandages. There were also wires coming out of the wrap, which would indicate some kind of muscle stimulator being used on the thumb. Just so you know ...

myhousekey Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Report i heard on Dallas radio earlier today around lunch was that he didn't throw this morning in the practice that the media can watch but he wasn't wearing anything on the hand/thumb either.

Is there a chance that all these "wires coming out of the wrap" could be a new robotic hand they've created for him, like Luke Skywalker? I'd much rather believe this than the possibility of my starting QB for our league SB being Sage Rosenfels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingfootball Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 My back-up is Rothlesburger on Thursday night. It would suck not to play him and then find out on Friday that Romo will not be 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Tony Romo, QB DAL News: Tony Romo threw a short pass and took off running Wednesday, doing the half-speed drill that starts most practices for the Dallas Cowboys. After that, the sore-thumbed Pro Bowl quarterback also did everything else he'd usually do in practice except take direct snaps. The NFC East champion Cowboys (12-2) expect Romo to start Saturday night at Carolina. "He seemed to get better and better as the practice went along as far as his thumb and throwing the football," coach Wade Phillips said. "It looks like he's going to play to me." Analysis: Phillips had anticipated Romo sitting out portions of practice, but Romo didn't have any problem gripping the ball and exceeded expectations. Backup quarterback Brad Johnson didn't get any more snaps than he'd usually get. "I thought maybe we would hold him out of some of the things if he couldn't throw all the passes," Phillips said. "But he threw long passes, he threw outs, he threw comebacks, he threw short passes. He's still a little bit sore, basically on the follow-through with his thumb." This is good news for Fantasy owners. Despite the minor thumb issue, feel free to start Romo Week 16 in all Fantasy leagues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Is there a chance that all these "wires coming out of the wrap" could be a new robotic hand they've created for him, like Luke Skywalker? hmmm, perhaps... I was thinking more along the lines that Romo is a terrorist and that he has a bomb strapped to his hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Tony Romo, QB DALNews: Tony Romo threw a short pass and took off running Wednesday, doing the half-speed drill that starts most practices for the Dallas Cowboys. After that, the sore-thumbed Pro Bowl quarterback also did everything else he'd usually do in practice except take direct snaps. When Favre had a similar injury taking direct snaps caused a lot of pain. Taking that snap puts a lot of pressure on the thumb and fingers. Shotgun is better, but doubt they'd abandon the snap. It did affect his acuracy. During a 27-12 loss to the Denver Broncos in an exhibition game Aug. 23, Favre smashed his right thumb on the helmet of blitzing linebacker John Mobley. The Packers initially described the injury as minor. X-rays revealed a sprain but no broken bones. No big deal......unless you’re a quarterback. “His hand was about as fat as mine,” said Santana Dotson, then a 290-pound defensive tackle. “It was bad. As a quarterback, you need that opposable thumb to squeeze (the ball). That was the year I saw Brett in the training room more than any other year.” In the Packers locker room recently, Favre held out his hand and explained how intense pain flared from the tip to the base of his thumb and into his forefinger. ‘It just wouldn’t heal’ “Of all my injuries, that was the toughest,” he said. “It started the exhibition game against Denver and then I reinjured it against Oakland (in the regular-season opener) and it bothered me the rest of the year, off and on. One game I’d be fine and the next, nothing. “If you sprain an ankle, it’s three weeks you hobble around and you may be limited in some ways but you play through it. The thumb, you’re getting it banged, the ball is slapping it every time you take a snap. “It just wouldn’t heal.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
