According to ESPN's Michael Smith, Tony Romo broke his pinkie finger and will be out for a month. This is terrible news for a Cowboys team that is fragile to begin with. The Cowboys are at St. Louis this weekend and then play the Bucs at home and the Giants on the road. The teams bye is the following week. Romo might be back for the Redskins game on November 16th. Brad Johnson will most likely take over as starting QB.
Fantasy Impact: The injuries just keep on coming. Losing Romo is basically losing 2-3 touchdowns on a weekly basis. It's bad news if you own Romo and will have a trickle down effect on the rest of your league. Terrel Owens, Jason Witten, and Patrick Crayton will see their numbers drop a bit. It's not that Brad Johnson can't get them ball, I just think that the team will go to Marion Barber and Felix Jones more in Romo's absence. If you are going to have to hit the waiver wire, Matt Ryan and Jeff Garcia won't kill you for a few weeks, but they certainly will not replace Romo's production.
