The fact that Dez Bryant was also out with an injury for Weeden’s three starts this season hurt his ability to get anything going down the field.

While those numbers weren’t exactly terrible for a backup, and much better than Weeden has shown in the past, the Cowboys lost all three games with him starting and went to Cassel during their Week 6 bye. Weeden started the next three games following Romo’s injury, completing 72.4 percent of his passes for 738 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. The fact that Weeden is being released indicates that Romo is fully healthy and will start on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, with Matt Cassell staying on as a backup.Īfter being released from the Cleveland Browns prior to the 2014 season, Weeden came to Dallas and has appeared in nine games over the past season and a half.
Romo is eligible to return to the 53-man roster for the first time since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles. With starting quarterback Tony Romo set to return to the active roster on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys have released backup Brandon Weeden according to David Helman of.
