The Dallas Cowboys will have to adjust on offense after quarterback Tony Romo suffered a broken left collarbone in their Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, although no surgery is required.
Romo was injured after being sacked for the third time in last Sunday's game by Eagles linebacker Jordan Hicks.
The 35-year-old quarterback had the same injury that made him miss 10 games in 2010. The new injury will likely keep him out of action for eight weeks.
Romo had tests last Monday, including a CT scan which determined that he does not need to undergo surgery.
The four-time Pro Bowler will have rehabilitation for the injury and despite being sidelined, will still be involved in the process, according to ESPN.
"Tony's such a great leader for our team and he has such a positive influence on everybody, so him being around and engaged is an important part of what his role is on the team," Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said, according to the report.
Now, Romo joins star wide receiver Dez Bryant who is also out after suffering a foot injury in their Week 1 victory against the New York Giants.
Before getting injured against Philadelphia, Romo completed 18 of 27 passes for 195 yards.
When he left the game, backup quarterback and now starter Brandon Weeden replaced him and completed all seven of his passes for 73 yards and a touchdown.
Since Weeden is now the starting quarterback, ESPN reported that the Cowboys will be holding workouts for quarterbacks Matt Flynn, Josh Johnson, and Christian Ponder to search for a backup.
Despite the injuries sustained by Bryant in Week 1 and Romo in Week 2, the Cowboys are still undefeated this 2015 season.
But they need to make quick adjustments especially on offense because they are up against tough opponents in Week 3 when they face the Atlanta Falcons, who are also unbeaten and thriving under new head coach Dan Quinn.
