X-Rays On Tony Romo's Shoulder Inconclusive But He's Out For The Season (in case you were not sure)

It was a rough thing for fans of the Dallas Cowboys to have to watch again, but it happened again. Tony Romo was whacked, landed on his shoulder, and his clavicle broke--again. The game itself was already going pretty bad, but at that moment everyone watching knew two things:

Tony Romo is out for the season and the Dallas Cowboys are going to be picking early in the next draft.

The official word right now is that the team doesn't know for certain what is wrong:

Jason Garrett said the X-ray results on Romo's injured clavicle were inconclusive. More tests in the morning.

Apparently this is not unusual:

Understandable that X-rays inconclusive as only 2-dimensional. CT is 3-D and are any potential fracture lines. https://t.co/PeNQ2TwYWg

Just in case anyone needed to be told, ESPN stated the obvious:

While X-rays on Tony Romo collarbone inconclusive and more tests scheduled tomorrow, a source told me the QB is "done for the season."

After the game Romo said it felt the same as the last time he broke his collarbone.

At least now he'll have plenty of time to heal before the team does something stupid like put him back on the field too early.
