Romo (back) will undergo testing over the next few days as the Cowboys try to determine whether he'll start the season on injured reserve, ESPN's Todd Archer reports.
Analysis:It was reported Sunday that Romo will stay on the 53-man roster, but that's apparently no longer a sure thing. If he's in fact placed on injured reserve, the 36-year-old quarterback wouldn't be eligible to practice until Week 7 or play in a game until Week 9. Given his timetable of 8-to-10 weeks, there's seemingly some chance Romo could return before Week 9, which probably makes it worthwhile to keep him on the roster. With the Cowboys on bye in Week 7, a return for Week 8 against Philadelphia makes for a reasonable target. In the meantime, Dak Prescott will enter Week 1 as the starting quarterback, with Mark Sanchez serving as his backup and Jameill Showers on the practice squad.
