Tony Romo

According reports from ESPN and NFL Network, the Cowboys are targeting Week 8 for Tony Romo's return to the lineup.

Of course, rookie fourth-rounder Dak Prescott has exceeded every expectation imaginable, not only leading the Cowboys to a 3-1 start, but he's done it while completing 68 percent of his passes without a single turnover.

But Prescott's emergence doesn't change the Romo timetable, at least as far as owner and general manager Jerry Jones is concerned, the story said. Jones maintains that Romo gives the team the best chance to win, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen's latest report.
