Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo says his arm has been sore for a couple of days. He says it's normal and nothing to worry about. "I've got to watch it just because you don't want it to stay like that for an extended period of time," Romo said after practice Sunday. "We started today just watching it a little bit." After the Cowboys finished their ninth day of training camp Sunday, a week before their preseason opener against Cincinnati, Romo says he started cutting back on his throws after first feeling soreness Saturday. He described it as "usually about a two- or three-day thing." "It happens every year. ... It's just part of the process," Romo said. "When I was young, I would just keep throwing and keep getting worse, and keep missing and figure there was some technical aspect."
Analysis: Romo says he is too competitive to be on the field without participating. He plans to keep grinding because there is so much to be working on. Part of the way he cuts back is by throwing fewer passes during the warmup session, then using passing drills without defenders to stretch out his arm more. Beside that, it is ice and rest as much as possible. "The coaches are great if it's too sore and you don't want to throw, I know that they are allowing me to have that option," he said. "But we've got a lot of stuff to work on, so we will keep grinding." It's too early to start worrying about arm soreness, so don't take Romo out of your Draft Day plans. He is still a 4,000-yard, 25-touchdown threat, so draft him as a No. 1 Fantasy QB and as early as Round 3.
