Even though it’s been reported that he’ll miss 6-10 weeks, Garrett was quick to point out Romo has played with broken bones in his back before.
Jason Garrett will not say when Tony Romo might return. Said Romo has played with fractures in his back before

My understanding is that best-case scenario is that #Cowboys QB Tony Romo returns by mid-season. He broke a different bone than last time.

Tony Romo has a compression fracture of his L1 vertebrae, per @toddarcher, an injury that could sideline him 6-10 weeks.
