IRVING, Texas - If its a question of tolerating pain, Tony Romo says he will play Sunday against Arizona — and history supports him on that point.The issue in the 34-year-old Dallas quarterbacks mind is whether he can run the offence while dealing with his third back injury in 18 months. He said Wednesday he doesnt know, which goes to owner Jerry Jones point that it could be a game-time decision against the Cardinals.Romo said the injury that sidelined him for about a quarter before he returned late in regulation of Mondays 20-17 overtime loss to Washington was more than a contusion, referring to coach Jason Garretts description. He wouldnt be more specific about the damage from a direct hit to his surgically repaired back on a third-quarter sack by linebacker Keenan Robinson.The latest injury isnt related to the herniated disk Romo played through without leaving the game in a come-from-behind win at Washington before surgery five days later last December. And Jones offered that it has nothing to do with the cyst Romo had removed from his back in April 2013, sidelining him the entire off-season last year.All in all, Romo said he dodged a bullet.Anytime someones had back surgery youre always a little bit nervous when you get hit in a specific instance like that, Romo said. The positive is its completely unrelated to the disk or anything that could be long term, per se. So that part of if, yeah, thats a positive. As far as feeling great, I feel like thats a negative. But I think that will come.Romo has said the pain he endured last year in Washington was worse than a 2011 game in San Francisco, where he slipped past doctors in the locker room and led a comeback win with cracked ribs and a punctured lung. He even played the next week, beating the Redskins.I dont know that Ive ever seen anybody who has a tougher will, his mind, and it helps him tremendously with pain threshold, Jones said. Combination of those two things, hes as tough-minded and physically tough a player as Ive ever been around.And thats why Romo says pain wont have much to do with the decision.It will be about your ability to be productive in some fashion, Romo said. That part of it we will continue to evaluate.Brandon Weeden led the Cowboys (6-2) to points on both possessions that Romo missed, and he will start against the Cardinals (6-1) if Romo cant play. That would also mean undrafted rookie Dustin Vaughan would be activated from the practice squad for the first time.Weedens last start was last December for Cleveland, which drafted him in the first round in 2012 and started him immediately before dumping him with a 5-15 career record after two seasons. He signed with the Cowboys in the off-season.Im going to treat it no different, said Weeden, whos had more quality practice time than most backups because of the way the Cowboys have managed Romos workouts. If hes able to go, thats the best thing. Well see how everything plays out.Garrett offered little insight into Romos status, refusing to discuss anything beyond Wednesdays work. But Jones indicated on his radio show that Romo would skip Thursdays practice because thats the first full workout of the week in pads. All season, Romo has missed the first practice, typically on Wednesdays, because of his post-surgery routine.Romos trying to make the week as normal as possible.I think you just prepare like you always do, he said. You watch tape. You do what you do in a normal week, and you go and play football.While Jones was relieved that Romo didnt have a season-ending injury, it was the third different back problem for the first player in franchise history to sign a $100 million contract. Hes in the second year of a six-year, $108 million extension with $55 million guaranteed.Ill bet if we looked around the league, well see a lot of times you have contusions and you have issues with backs, Jones said. But in no way would it impact whether Tony was our quarterback or not, unless he just cant play.The Cowboys might not know that answer until Sunday.NOTES: LB Justin Durant (torn right biceps), the teams leading tackler, and practice squad LB Troy Davis (groin) were placed on season-ending injured reserve. LB Tim Dobbins was signed to the active roster, and LB Will Smith was added to the practice squad. ...

HEROES Mathieu Perreault – Scored four goals in Winnipeg’s 8-2 rout of Florida. After starting the year with no goals and three assists in his first 19 games, Perreault has been on a tear, putting up 25 points (15 G, 10 A) in 24 games and his puck possession numbers (55.1% Corsi) rank second on the Jets, behind Blake Wheeler. Not a bad pickup for a $3-million cap hit. Here are the top scorers that changed NHL teams as a free agent in the summer of 2014: NICE ADDITIONS PLAYER TEAM POS. GP G A PTS CORSI% REL.

The 18-year-old was the 25th pick in the 2014 Draft, and he’s the only player taken outside the top three to play in the league this season. Colin Wilson – The Predators winger is having a breakout season and piled up two goals and two assists in Nashville’s 5-1 win over Vancouver. He has 17 points (8 G, 9 A) in the past 11 games. It turns out that having the puck in the other team’s end all the time can pay off quite nicely as Wilson has the best scoring-chance ratio in the league, currently at 62.1%.

J.T. Brown – The Lightning winger had a rough night, on the ice for one shot attempt for and 12 against (7.7%) at even-strength before taking a double minor in the third for roughing Boston’s David Krejci. Goalies: Niklas Backstrom – Allowed six goals on 35 shots in a 7-2 loss at Pittsburgh, continuing the Wild’s goaltending woes. In his past five games, Backstrom has allowed at least three goals in each of his past 10 appearances. Robin Lehner – Ottawa’s goaltender gave up five goals on 29 shots in a 5-4 loss at Dallas. In his past five games, Lehner has an .857 save percentage (114 saves, 133 shots). Luongo & Montoya – Florida’s goalies took a beating, allowing eight goals on 35 shots against Winnipeg. It’s been a particularly rough stretch for Al Montoya, who has an .836 save percentage (97 saves, 116 shots) in his past five appearances. LINEUP NEED TO KNOW Pekka Rinne – Nashville’s star goaltender, and the frontrunner for the Vezina Trophy, left Tuesday’s win over Vancouver with a lower-body injury. Carter Hutton could see an increased workload if Rinne is going to be out. James Neal – Returned to the Nashville lineup, for his first game in 2015, contributing a couple of assists, in a 5-1 win over Vancouver. Derek Stepan – Played only 6:55 against the Islanders before leaving with an upper-body injury. When Stepan was hurt early in the year, Derick Brassard was forced to handle a lot of responsibility. At this ppoint, the Rangers could give young forward J.ddddddddddddT. Miller some more minutes. Steve Downie - The Penguins agitating winger was knocked from the game after taking an elbow from Minnesota D Ryan Suter. It has been more than a little challenging for the Penguins to keep their wingers healthy this season. Zac Dalpe – Was called up to play his first game for the Sabres.

Rob Zepp – Apparently the Flyers are poised to start the 33-year-old journeyman tonight (ahead of Ray Emery) against Washington.

Dustin Brown – It hasn’t been much a season, or season-and-a-half, for Brown when it comes to offensive production (43 points in 112 games since the start of 2013-14), but he does have four assists in the past five games and is seeing more ice time now that Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson are out of the lineup.
