The topic received some buzz last week when a report surfaced that HC Jason Garrett said his star quarterback likely won’t play against the Dolphins in the first of five preseason games. When asked if missing the entire offseason because of minor back surgery means he needed to take more preseason reps, Romo said the amount he would play against the Dolphins wouldn’t be enough to make a huge difference. “I don’t know that first series, if I did play, it would be a series, whether you went eight plays or three plays, I’m not sure how much that is going to affect that. ..."
