Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo returned to practice Thursday for the first time since suffering two small fractures in his back Oct. 27 against Washington. While Romo was throwing passing in individual drills, backup quarterback Brandon Weeden was still taking more reps, according to The Dallas Morning News.

 
"It's sore,'" Romo said of his back following practice. “"It loosened up a little bit as we moved through it I think. Then, it just gets sore. The normal stuff."
 
While Romo stopped short of saying he will play Week 10, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reiterated Thursday he still feels Romo will start Sunday's game in London against the Jaguars.
 
"I'm anticipating him playing," Jones said. "I have no reason to think that he won't. Anytime he can play, we want him to play. We're a better team, to be trite, with him playing. There's no such thing as holding him out and foregoing the potential chance that we win."
 
Jones didn't stop Thursday talking about Romo's status for Week 10. He went on to talk about how much longer he feels Romo can play in the NFL, despite Romo's back problems, and what Romo has in store for when his playing days are over.
 
"I think Tony Romo has at least five years," Jones said. "I'm planning on him at least five years of playing at a level that would allow us to be a possible contender.
 
"He has aspirations and stated to me of potentially being an offensive coordinator in the NFL when he grows up. He has great ideas and very sound ideas."

With them playing Jacksonville, and a Bye Week next week, I think they should sit him this game. Yes their backup option isn't the best, and they are on a 2 game losing streak, but the alternative could be to have Romo play, and injury himself more.
