Quarterback Tony Romo was not an active participant in the Dallas Cowboys’ walkthrough practice in London on Tuesday as he works through ongoing discomfort in his surgically repaired back.
“I think it continues to get a little bit better incrementally every day and you just reassess it every day,” Romo said.
The Cowboys expect Romo to be ready to start against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL’s third game at Wembley Stadium this season.
He missed last week’s game with a back contusion, the result of taking a knee in the Monday night loss Oct. 27 to the Washington Redskins.
Dallas won six straight games to climb into first place in the NFC East but the offense is out of synch in the past two games. Backup Brandon Weeden was intercepted twice and showed little rapport with wide receivers Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams in the Week 9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
