Tough Tony Romo fights his way back in 20-17 loss

A lot of the Cowboys great 6-2 start has been based on Tony Romo's QB play and managing the offense, but a re-injured back may cause issues. (CBS Sports)
Fantasy Impact:
Romo was not having a great game before the injury as the young Redskins secondary had locked down on his receivers, particularly Dez Bryant. Romo missed two drives in the second half in which backup Brandon Weeden led two scoring drives and effectively ran the offense. This is not to say that there is a quarterback controversy, but Romo was not himself yesterday before or after the injury. In total, Romo finished with only 209 passing yards and a touchdown while getting sacked five times and fumbling in the first quarter. He also had only a 60.7 completion percentage, ending his impressive run of six games with a completion percentage over 65. His injury may have been a big reason for the weak effort and Romo owners have to worry about this injury because his back is a troublesome area. It is an aggreviated injury from his offseason surgery that still has him sit out every Wednesday practice. Monitor this situation very closely before making your lineup, particularly considering a tough matchup against Arizona.
