The Cowboys now must find a way to win without starting quarterback Tony Romo, who is out for at least a month with a broken pinkie on his right throwing hand.

If that's not enough, the Cowboys also learned that rookie running back Felix Jones has a strained hamstring and will likely miss at least two weeks. And then punter Mat McBriar has a fractured right foot and is out 6-8 weeks, which could possibly mean a spot on injured reserve.

And just for good measure, let's throw in wide receiver Sam Hurd re-injuring his high ankle sprain and will need surgery, possibly season-ending. Outside linebacker Anthony Spencer should miss at least a week with a hamstring strain.

Let's not forget that cornerback Terence Newman is out for at least three more weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia last week. Safeties Roy Williams (broken arm) and Pat Watkins (neck) could return this week but may not be 100 percent.
