He may be wearing a back brace.I saw where a couple of people who are at camp are calling it a bad camera angle. They say Romo isn't anywhere near that big.

Typical veteran sandbagging.Sore Back Will Keep Tyrone Crawford Out Of First Camp Practice In Pads

OXNARD, Calif. – Defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford will not participate in Monday’s first padded practice due to a sore back, head coach Jason Garrett said.
Crawford also sat out Sunday’s practice and had an MRI on his back, though it's not believed to be serious. He has dealt with the back flaring up before, Garrett said.
“We’ll take his situation day-by-day," Garrett said.
Crawford had shoulder surgery in January following the 2015 season. Starting all 16 games, he had a career-high 44 tackles and finished third on defense with a career-high five sacks to go along with 27 quarterback pressures.
The Cowboys are a little thin at defensive tackle at the moment, with rookie defensive tackle Maliek Collins currently on Active/PUP following foot surgery at the end of May.

Figures.
Probably so. It is a continuing problem with this club. The coach is too soft. The veteran players feel they have nothing to gain by practicing.Typical veteran sandbagging.
You're a mountain of a man.Crawford played in the trenches against 300-350 lb linemen for all 16 games of a 4-12 season where everybody knew we had no hope without Romo despite not being able to bench 225.
I can bench 225.
Think about that.
Maybe some of these other guys are sandbagging, who knows, but I doubt Crawford is. At any rate, I'm sure he'll be back in the next few days.

In Dallas, sore backs requiring MRI's usually signal imminent retirement. Hope this is nothing, but it underscores the need for guys like Collins and T. McClain to rotate with this guy.Sore Back Will Keep Tyrone Crawford Out Of First Camp Practice In Pads

I'm only about 6-1, 200, sorry, maybe I can replace Heath or Church but I'm nowhere near fast enough.Could Simp be picked up as an UDFA or would he have to sign up for the Supplemental Draft?
We need help on the DL in the worst way, but we need someone stout.
