The Facts:
Following up on the ongoing story. ... Jason Garrett stubbornly refuses to acknowledge the Cowboys are likely to play the most important game of their season without Romo. Owner Jerry Jones isn’t ready to give up hope either. “All I’m saying is he has back spasms, symptoms that we’re treating as we go along in the week to see if he will play,’’ Jones said late Monday evening. “There is nothing structurally that will rule him out if he feels good and is cleared to play. Nothing.’’

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Cowboys end the regular season Sunday night against Philadelphia. A victory would give the team the NFC East title and end a three-year playoff drought. Garrett insists the club will evaluate Romo on a day-to-day basis despite reports that an MRI revealed the QB has a herniated disk that could require surgery. Garrett and Jones are purposely vague in response to direct questions about a herniated disk. “The facts are there is a lot of we can’t comment on,’’ Jones said. “But the most important thing is if he feels better as the week goes along, there is nothing structurally to prevent him from playing. He might be cleared to play.’’ Garrett concedes that logistically the club will sign another QB because you can’t go through practice with just one. David Carr, Tyler Thigpen and John Skelton are scheduled to work out Tuesday. Garrett makes it clear the Cowboys haven’t ruled Romo out. The QB told Jones Monday evening he was starting to feel better. You should believe it when you see actual evidence of it.
