Romo Practices, Could Play Sunday (AP)
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who wants to play despite a broken pinkie on his throwing hand, practiced and threw passes to receivers Thursday. Coach Wade Phillips didn't rule out the possibility of Romo playing Sunday at St. Louis even though he said the quarterback was limited in practice Thursday and that Brad Johnson took most of the snaps.

Tony Romo Wants To Play Sunday?
Tony Romo broke his right pinkie finger and it was estimated that he would miss roughly 4 weeks.
Brett Favre has called Romo telling him that he should try to play through it (if he could).
"The only thing I said was, it's worth trying [to play] if you can deal with the pain and can function good enough with a splint,'' Favre said. "If not, don't try.''And Romo has reportedly told coaches that he wants to play Sunday.
Romo did not practice on Wednesday but did throw the ball on the side with his fractured pinkie in a splint, and according to eyewitnesses, he was able to throw the ball with good velocity and appeared confident after throwing. The session was not open to reporters.
There is no assurance he can protect the ball, take a snap or deliver the ball accurately under game conditions.
The Cowboys' biggest concern is...

Confident Tony Romo Nowhere To Be Found
The Dallas Morning News
GLENDALE, Ariz. - His right hand packed in ice afterward, Tony Romo hid the famous dimples behind a mask.
Nothing to smile about anyway, right?
Not after you lose a sloppy overtime game to the Cardinals, 30-24, in front of a schizoid crowd of 64,389, half Cards, half Cowboys, polar opposites forced by wayward allegiances to sit side by side, cheek to cheek.
And if that scene wasn't weird enough, you witnessed the Cowboys quarterback's continued retreat into a shell.
The numbers say he completed 61 percent of his passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns in a 30-24 overtime loss to Arizona.
The body language? This is not the quarterback we thought we knew.
When he's feeling it, Romo wears his heart on his sleeve. He's an infectious presence on a team that has thrived on his...

Romo Has Broken Finger
The Dallas Cowboys' nightmare of a week just got even worse this morning, as news is filtering out of Big D that star quarterback Tony Romo has a broken pinkie finger on his throwing hand and is expected to be sidelined around four weeks.
Romo is believed to have suffered the injury on the first play of overtime of Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss at Arizona, when he was sacked by the Cardinals' Chike Okeafor. The Pro Bowl signal-caller had thrown for 321 yards and three touchdowns on the afternoon.
If the initial prognosis is correct, Romo would miss three games and return to action for a key showdown at division-rival Washington, which dealt the Cowboys' a stinging two-point loss last month, on November 16. Dallas has a bye the week prior to that game.
However, the standout triggerman appears likely to miss a crucial clash with the...

Cowboys\' Romo Has Broken Finger, May Miss 4 Weeks
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has a broken finger on his throwing hand and could be out for up to four weeks.
Romo broke his right pinkie on the first play of overtime in a 30-24 loss at Arizona on Sunday, according to a posting on the team's official Web site. The team had no immediate comment, though players responded to the news.
The injury leaves the Cowboys (4-2) with 40-year-old Brad Johnson as the starter for Sunday's game at St. Louis. Johnson, who won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay, hasn't started a game since 2006 in Minnesota.
Neither Romo nor Johnson was in the locker room Monday when it was open to reporters.
When linebacker Greg Ellis was told about Romo's broken finger, he got a somewhat stunned looked on his face and exclaimed, "Wow!" Bradie James said the players will have to rally around each other.
