Tony Romo On Clavicle Fracture Injury: ‘I Was Kind Of In Shock’

It’s going to be a rough week and couple of months in Dallas. The Cowboys were downed by the Giants on Monday Night Football and their quarterback, Tony Romo, suffered a broken clavicle, after being slammed into the ground by New York linebacker Michael Boley.
Romo says after the game that he didn’t know what the injury was when it first happened.

“It doesn’t feel good, but it’s just normal,” Romo said. “I didn’t know that it was broken. I was kind of in shock. When it happens your body kind of goes in shock and I had a hard time breathing. I tried catching my breath, and when I did, it was hard to move this [left] shoulder. It felt like a good sprain and I was just trying to get back in. I was just really light headed.”

It’s strange how there’s little pain and, as Romo suggests above, he was trying to go back in. The injury will keep him out anywhere from 6-10 weeks. In his absense, Jon Kitna will be the Cowboys starting QB, a man WR Roy Williams says is “just as good” as Romo. We shall see.
