Romo Practices With Cowboys In London

By Mike Fisher | @fishsports

LONDON (CBSDFW.COM) - Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, despite two fractures in his back, practiced on Thursday at London's Allianz Rugby pitch in anticipation of him playing Sunday against the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.

"I'm anticipating [Tony Romo] playing. I have no reason to think that he won't," said owner Jerry Jones Thursday.

Romo missed last week's game with the back injury, which caused him pain and greatly limited his flexibility. But he made the trip to London with the team on Monday, sitting in first class on the Virgin Airbus. His family also anticipates something positive this week, as Romo's wife Candice and his parents have also arrived here.

How important is Dallas' starting QB to this franchise? When Romo is not in the lineup, since 2007, the Cowboys are 6-9.
