Luke's Thursday Injury Report!

Tony Romo QB DAL - During the game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Tony Romo broke his clavicle and is now expected to miss upwards of 10 weeks while he heals.

Outlook: Look for Dallas to start Brandon Weeden at QB while Romo is on the mend. This means an obvious down swing for all Dallas players. It would be great for the running game if they had a true starter at the position, but with the RBBC setup, it will be a “wait and see” approach until Romo and Bryant make their returns towards the end of the fantasy season.

***UPDATE*** Tony Romo is now on IR-Designated-to-Return and is expected to come back my November 22nd against the Miami Dolphins.

Jay Cutler QB CHI - Cutler left the game against Arizona Cardinals due to a hamstring injury and did not return; he is considered day-to-day.

Outlook: Jay Cutler is expected to miss at least two weeks.

Tevin Coleman RB ATL - Coleman left the game against the New York Giants due to a chest injury and did not return.

Outlook: Coleman suffered a broken rib and is now expected to miss a “couple of weeks”. He could play sooner, if his pain tolerance allows.

Lamar Miller RB MIA - Miller left the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the game and did not return.

Outlook: The loss of Miller seems to come across a little flat compared to other injuries as he had 10 rushes for just 14 yards in the game. He also had 5 receptions for 28 yards. His backup, Damian Williams, ended up getting the receiving touchdown in the loss. Miller is currently day to day and is questionable for week 3. Hopefully on his return, Miller looks more like the RB2 he was drafted to be.

Jordan Cameron TE MIA - Cameron left the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars early after pulling his groin. After some time on the sideline, Cameron said that he attempted to get back into the game, but his injury did not allow it.

Outlook: Cameron is no stranger to soft tissue issues. During his time with the Cleveland Browns, Cameron suffered through the like issues on multiple occasions. His return is questionable as of now and would follow suit with his prior injuries as they took a couple of weeks to be resolved. Hopefully he can bounce back more quickly this time as he seems to be a favorite target of Tannehill.

Eddie Lacy RB GB - Lacy left the game against the Seattle Seahawks early after suffering an ankle injury that needed x-rays. He did not return and was replaced by James Starks.

Outlook: Thankfully, for Lacy owners, the x-rays came back negative. Now Lacy is day to day and is currently questionable for week 3. We should have a better idea of Lacy’s chances to play sooner rather than later. As for the RB position with Lacy out, Starks did an admirable job and could be a waiver grab if it comes out early that Lacy will be inactive for week 3.
