TONY ROMO SPRAINED HIS RIGHT ANKLE IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF SUNDAY'S 34 TO 21 SEASON OPENING VICTORY AGAINST THE BUCCANEERS... DESPITE THE INJURY... ROMO WAS ABLE TO THROW FOR A CAREER BEST 353 YARDS AND THE COWBOYS ARE HOPEFUL, HE'LL BE HEALTHY ENOUGH TO DO THE SAME THIS SUNDAY...

BY ALL INDICATIONS, ROMO SHOULD BE READY FOR THE HOME OPENER AGAINST THE GIANTS THIS WEEK. EXAMS ON HIS SPRAINED RIGHT ANKLE CAME BACK NEGATIVE TODAY AND HE IS EXPECTED TO PRACTICE THIS WEDNESDAY... COWBOYS HEAD COACH, WADE PHILLIPS SAY THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TONY'S ANKLE...

"NAW HE WASN'T ON CRUTCHES. FROM WHAT THEY SAID, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING SERIOUS. I THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE BASKETBALL INJURIES AND HE'S PLAYING FOOTBALL SO IT'S NO PROBLEM," WADE JOKINGLY SAID.

The Cowboys may be without running back Marion Barber for next week's game at Cowboys Stadium. An MRI revealed today that Barber has a strain in his left quad and is listed as questionable for the Monday night show down against The Panthers. The injury occurred in the 4th quarter. Barber went off for 124 yards and a touchdown, before leaving the game.

"The Streak" is still alive. For the third week in a row, Cowboys Left Tackle Flozell Adams has been fined by the NFL. This time the league got him for $7500 for kicking Julius Peppers during The Cowboys Monday Night win over The Panthers. Wish I had that kind of money to throw away.
