This is just in. Tony Romo underwent surgery on his back this morning and he is now listed officially as out for the season. This doesn’t surprise many of us, but the Cowboys were holding onto a slim hope that Romo could keep getting treatment everyday this week and try to play this Sunday in a win or go home game against the Eagles. Obviously treatment was not good enough so they elected to have the surgery now so he can be ready in full health for next season. Kyle Orton is now slated to start, with Jon Kitna backing him up. Kitna was just signed this week because he is familiar with the game plan the Cowboys will implement. The Eagles are playing great right now and this looks like it spells doom for the the playoff chances of Dallas.
