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.

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.

Yeah. I just accept it they had more information than John Q. to come to that determination.

You are seriously going to argue the difference between 7.3 weeks and 8 weeks? Especially when it concerns a football player that has to be in 100% physical shape to play? Just stop now.

I think the problem is LT said "at least" rather than "average." The latter implies "give or take a couple weeks" while the former implies "no way it's less than 8."

That's a big difference.
 
For the record I'll trust that they had good reason to IR Romo.

I'm not so sure it's just about the active roster. I think they'd have had to cut someone this week or else immediately install Cassel as 2nd string (which would probably be unwise).

It was CowboysRocks this said at least.
