Cowboys' Tony Romo: Inactive Sunday

Romo (back) is listed as inactive Sunday in Pittsburgh, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Analysis:

By all indications, Romo has been medically cleared for weeks, meaning his continued absences have been a coaching decision. Impressive play from Dak Prescott has more or less delayed Romo's return, but there's an indication that the veteran will serve as the backup quarterback next Sunday versus the Ravens, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. If Prescott falters at any point, Romo will seemingly be considered for his old appointment, but for the time being, the rookie is the main man in Dallas.
