My guess is the first time Romo had this injury, which he didn't have surgery on either, it took at least 8 weeks to heal. The Cowboys are probably just assuming it will be the same time line or worse since he is older now.There are exceptions as you have cited but the average is 8 weeks. My guess is they didn't think Romo would have an exceptional recovery time since it had been broken before.
