Tony Romo has suffered a fractured left clavicle and will not return.
Romo had x-rays in the second quarter after suffering the injury. Depending on the severity of the injury, Romo could need surgery.
With 12:07 left in the second quarter, Romo fired a pass to Miles Austin, then took the hard hit from linebacker Michael Boley, who was running at him unblocked, going practically full speed. Romo was down, flat on his back, until trainers came to his aid.
He was replaced by Jon Kitna, who was seeing his first playing time since Oct. 5, 2008 when he was with Detroit.
Romo attempted to return to the game in the same series but was held back by associate athletic trainer Britt Brown and was taken to the locker room for X Rays. The Cowboys are not sure of his return.
Romo suffered a fractured left pinky finger in an overtime loss at Arizona in 2008 and missed three games that ultimately led to a 9-7 finish that kept the Cowboys from the playoffs. He was replaced by Brad Johnson, who was ineffective.
Romo has played through injuries in games before, like knee and lower back but always managed to return.
Romo had been 5 of 7 for 39 yards with a touchdown pass..
The Giants have KO'd several QBs this year - Jay Cutler , Shaun Hill.
