Tony Romo: Active Thursday

Romo (shoulder/back) is active for Thursday's game against the Panthers, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Analysis:

Romo will make his second start in a row following a seven-game absence due to a broken left clavicle. However, he'll have his work cut out for him against the Panthers' fifth-ranked scoring defense (19.1 points allowed per outing).
