Romo to miss four weeks with broken pinkie.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has a broken pinkie on his throwing hand and will be out four weeks, a team source told ESPN's Michael Smith.
Romo initially was diagnosed with a pinkie sprain in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Veteran quarterback Brad Johnson, the Cowboys' holder on kicks, is Romo's backup.
The Cowboys have lost two of their last three games after starting the season 3-0. |

Jets' Smith suspended one game, fined $50k for hit on Boldin
Safety Eric Smith of the New York Jets has been suspended for one game and fined $50,000 for a flagrant violation of player safety rules, the NFL announced Monday.
Specifically, on a pass play on Sunday, Smith engaged in helmet-to-helmet contact with Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who was in a defenseless position at the time contact was made.
The suspension will sideline Smith for the Jets' game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 12 following the Jets bye on Oct. 5. The $50,000 fine includes the game check Smith will forfeit for the week of his suspension.
Smith's actions violated Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8(g) of the NFL Official Playing Rules, which prohibit:
"... using any part of a player's helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/'hairline' parts) or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily; although such violent or unnecessary use of the helmet is impermissible against any opponent, game officials will give special attention in administering this rule to protect those players who are in virtually defenseless postures."
On Sept. 17, Commissioner Roger Goodell specifically advised all players of his intention to strictly enforce playing rules that promote safety on the field:
"Player safety on the field is important to all of us in the NFL. Football is a tough game and we need to do everything possible to protect all players - offense, defense, and special teams - from unnecessary injury caused by illegal and dangerous hits. From this point forward, you should be clear on the following point: Any conduct that unnecessarily risks the safety of other players has no role in the game of football and will be disciplined at increased levels, including on a first offense." |

Ken Whisenhunt Say's Boldin Is Not Seriously Hurt.
After tests were done on receiver Anquan Boldin’s spine, and no serious injuries were detected, the receiver was cleared to fly back to Arizona on Sunday night, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said that his Monday news conference.
“All the test results were positive,” Whisenhunt said.
Boldin was injured in the final moments of the Cardinals’ 56-35 loss to the Jets, as the receiver was hit simultaneously by safety Kerry Rhodes from behind and safety Eric Smith from the front while attempting to make a catch in the end zone with 27 seconds remaining in the game. Boldin was strapped to a stretcher with his helmet still on and carted off the field. He was then transported to a Manhattan hospital for further tests, which all came back negative.
“That was just a scary, scary play and I can’t get it out of my mind,” Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner said after the game.
During his Monday news conference, Whisenhunt said that he felt that the NFL will look at the hit, which the coach feels falls under being dangerous to a player. |
