Report: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo to miss Hall of Fame game

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will reportedly miss his side's clash with the Miami Dolphins in the Hall of Fame game on Sunday.

The 33-year-old underwent surgery during the off-season to remove a cyst from his back, but he has not missed a practice during his side's training camp.

Cowboys' head coach Jason Garrett has decided not to risk his quarterback in the pre-season opener, with four other games available to bring Romo up to speed before the regular season starts, reports ESPNDallas.com.

Romo enjoyed a strong showing in the 2012 season, throwing 28 touchdowns.
