Tony Romo will make the flight to London. The quarterback’s comfort, given that he must make the long flight with two fractures of the transverse process in his back, is a concern. Owner Jerry Jones has a solution. He’ll bump his wife, Gene, back to coach and give Romo her seat.
“Some of those seats really make out into a nice cot, bed-type configuration,’’ Jones said. “He will get one of those. Gene will sit up in the bulkhead. Romo will lounge on the way over.
“You don’t think it’d be me, do you?’’
He was kidding.
Wasn’t he?
But he’s not kidding about getting Romo ready to play next Sunday against Jacksonville.
“The proof of the pudding is we certainly wouldn’t put him on that plane and take him to London and fly over and fly back if we weren’t planning on him playing,’’ Jones said.
Romo’s backup Brandon Weeden isn’t getting the job done. He completed 18/33 passes for 183 yards and two interceptions during the Cowboys 28-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Jones wants his $100 million quarterback on the field immediately.
