Dallas Cowboys QB Brandon Weeden is working on learning the team's offense and getting better, and is not concerned with the situation surrounding QB Kyle Orton. "I'm going to go about my business the same way regardless. I haven't met Kyle, so I can't really speak on it, but whatever he decides to do – it's kind of out of my control," Weeden said. "So what I'm worried about is, if I'm running with the twos out there, do my job to make the twos better. I want to make the team better any way I can, so it doesn't change my mindset or the way I feel about it."

Updating a previous item, the Dallas Cowboys have been optimistic that QB Kyle Orton would show up for mandatory minicamp this week, but after he didn't show Monday, June 16, the team is unsure if he'll be around Tuesday, June 17.

Fantasy Tip: Orton isn't a huge blow to the Cowboys if he doesn't wind up showing up this week, since they have Brandon Weeden as a capable backup. Orton, obviously, shouldn't be drafted.

Cowboys | Tony Romo to miss rest of season

Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:27:15 -0800

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) has been ruled out for the season because of his back injury.

Fantasy Tip: Kyle Orton will start at quarterback with Romo out. Orton could be a starting option for desperate owners but there are probably better options available. The Cowboys wide receivers and tight ends should be downgraded because of the change.

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo (back) said he will be ready for training camp in July after having minor surgery to remove a cyst on his back that will keep him out of organized team activities for the next three weeks. "If this was the regular season and I had to play next week, I could," Romo said. "This is just about being smart. That's why I did it now. This will have no effect on training camp. No way will it have an impact. And I still think there's a good chance I'm on the field for minicamp." The team does not fear that this will be a long-term injury, but they'll be cautious with him. Romo said the cyst was causing a constant ache in his back. QB Kyle Orton will work with the first-team offense with Romo out.

Fantasy Tip: Romo will miss valuable time during OTAs gaining chemistry with his receivers and tight ends, but he'll have plenty of time to regain that during the team's June minicamp and training camp in July. This shouldn't affect Romo's draft stock at all as a midrange No. 1 QB.

The Dallas Cowboys are happy with their quarterback pair of Tony Romo and backup Kyle Orton. The team is not expected to add a third-string quarterback or even look at the position during the free-agent market. Developing a long-term starting option at the quarterback position isn't a need right now so it likely will not take on a sense of urgency until future seasons.
