FRISCO, Texas -- Owner and general manager Jerry Jones indicated the Dallas Cowboys will keep Tony Romo on the teams active roster as the quarterback recovers from a compression fracture in his back.We dont have anybody valuable enough to take up that lost spot to give us the opportunity to see how [Romo] does, Jones told 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. Theres just not enough value there realistically to bring someone else in. Thats the deciding factor. You dont have to spend a lot of time, going over and kind of circumcising a mosquito.?... Theres nobody good enough to take that spot to give you a chance for that if -- if [Romo] can come back.ESPN reported Sunday, via a source, Romo would remain on the active roster.When Romo was hurt Aug. 25 against the Seattle Seahawks, the estimated time frame for a return was six to 10 weeks. At the early end of the spectrum -- with little practice time or conditioning work -- Romo could return Oct. 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Cowboys play the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 16 and their bye week falls Oct. 23.Jones was asked if Romo could return before the Oct. 30 meeting against the Philadelphia Eagles.I dont want to rule out anything, Jones said. I dont know that anybody is qualified to do that. Medicine basically gives you estimates and guidelines, and Im not trying to be vague here, but theres no need to rule out anything. We dont have a situation on the 53 [man roster]. This isnt a day-of-game situation.The Cowboys will make Romo inactive for games until he is healthy. Until then, Dak Prescott will be the starter and Mark Sanchez is the backup. Romo remains in a back brace and he will undergo X-rays to check the healing process in the next week or so, according to Jones.Jones used tight end Jason Witten as an example of medical baselines being incorrect. In 2012, Witten suffered a lacerated spleen on Aug. 13, yet was able to play in the Sept. 5 season opener.These traditional healing times arent necessarily as bright-lined as you might like for them to be and so his importance to us, his being able to play in a game, a half, is really kind of unique, Jones told the station. And so well be real liberal when we start evaluating when it is hell come back.Wholesale Salomon Shoes Ireland . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well.

"It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October.

Weve been close.Its been the most puzzling part of an offense that piles up the yards but not the points, especially when it matters most.Dalton ranks 21st in fourth-quarter passer rating at 85.2. Hes thrown only three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, all of them when the opponents went soft on defense while finishing off a game with a lead. One came in Pittsburgh, the other two in Dallas.Cincinnati has scored 40 points in the fourth quarter -- its fewest in any quarter -- and has been held to three points or fewer in six of its nine games.Against the Giants, the Bengals had the ball five times after pulling ahead 20-14 midway through the third quarter and managed only 47 yards and three first downs -- one by penalty -- the rest of the way.The reality is weve been in games at the end and just havent been able to find plays, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said.I think it can go one of two ways: You start to develop into a team that doesnt seem to find an answer, or you can turn it around and make it swing in the other direction.Theres not much time left to get it figured out. The defending AFC North champions trail Baltimore (5-4) and Pittsburgh (4-5) heading into the final stretch of the season.Theyvee got two games with Baltimore and they host the Steelers, so theres still a chance to catch up, but only if they figure out how to do a better job of protecting Dalton.ddddddddddddHe was sacked twice on the final series, when the Bengals line got overwhelmed . Dalton has been sacked 28 times, third-most in the NFL behind Indianapolis and Cleveland quarterbacks. The Bengals are on pace to allow 50 sacks for only the seventh time in franchise history.The Bengals are one of the healthiest teams in the league, so thats not been a factor in the diminished pass protection.Its hard to say whats the big difference for this team, Dalton said. The core is together.On Sunday, they host Buffalo (4-5), which leads the league with 30 sacks. A veteran line knows that it has to do better at giving Dalton time against the Bills .As youve been in this league longer, I think more of our guys are going to find that out that (opponents) start to figure you out, how you block and how you do things, and youd better have an answer for it, Whitworth said.Game notesDalton was limited in practice on Wednesday with a sore throwing shoulder, but is expected to play against the Bills. The Bengals held a light workout coming off the Monday night game. ... G Clint Boling (shoulder), TE Tyler Eifert (knee) and WR Bandon LaFell (knee) also were limited in the offenses workouts. LB Rey Maualuga, who was inactive against the Giants because of an injured fibula, practiced on a limited basis. ... DE Wallace Gilberry had a sore calf and didnt fully practice following his first game since re-signing with Cincinnati.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
