Cowboys QB Romo has collapsed lung

ARLINGTON, Texas, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has been diagnosed with a collapsed lung, along with a previously disclosed fractured rib, the team said Monday.

Romo played part of the Cowboys' 27-24 overtime win at San Francisco Sunday with the broken rib.

Cowboys team spokesman Rich Dalrymple said Monday the signal-caller has also been diagnosed with pneumothorax -- a collapsed lung.

"Additional testing on the fractured rib of Tony Romo today revealed that he also has evidence of a pneumothorax -- a condition that is not unusual for an injury such as the one Romo sustained in the game in San Francisco," Dalrymple said. "Varying degrees of a pneumothorax can heal in differing time frames."

The team said it would monitor Romo's progress throughout the week but didn't indicate his status for a Sept. 26 game against Washington.

Romo came back from Sunday's first-quarter injury to rally the Cowboys to an overtime victory, going 20-of-33 passing for 345 yards and two touchdowns.
