Quote:
If Romo plays with the injury, he would not be the first Cowboys quarterback to do so. In the 1968 Playoffs, Cowboys quarterback Don Meredith played at the Browns in the Eastern Conference Championship Game after spending time in the hospital that week with a punctured lung and pneumonia.
Meredith had 3 interceptions in that game, completing only 3 of 9 passes for 42 yards before Tom Landry pulled him, replacing him with Craig Morton. It was Meredith’s last game.

Not sure if Meredith retirement was because of the injury or old age. but I doubt the Cowboys would want the same to happen to Romo.
