After being injured during the Dallas Cowboys preseason schedule and watching lightly regarded rookie quarterback Dak Prescott seize control over his job and lead the team to a 13-2 record in his absence, Tony Romo is slated to see his first regular season game action in over a year this coming Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

While Prescott will continue to start and is also attempting to set an all time NFL record for number of wins from a rookie quarterback, Romo and third string quarterback Mark Sanchez are also expected to receive playing time.

Coach Jason Garrett says that the coaching staff has yet to determine how playing time will be split between the three signal callers, but that Romo would absolutely love to receive some snaps. The game has zero implications, as they have already assured themselves of home field advantage throughout the entirety of the NFC playoffs.

The playing time split is going to be finalized on Saturday and Romo has not taken a snap in an NFL regular season game since November of 2015. He broke his clavicle on two separate occasions last year and with the emergence of Prescott, there is rampant speculation that he will be traded to a different contender in the offseason.

Numerous other Cowboys are expected to rest during the game and Romo and Sanchez will be used to limit the amount of punishment that Prescott takes from the Eagles’ defense.
