Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has a broken finger on his throwing hand and could be out for up to four weeks.
Romo, who had started 30 straight regular-season games since replacing Drew Bledsoe in 2006, broke his right pinkie on the first play of overtime in a 30-24 loss at Arizona on Sunday.
"We don't know how long he'll be out. It depends on how fast that heals," coach Wade Phillips said Monday. "I'd say week to week, depending on quickly he heals. Different people heal differently."
The injury, which Phillips said won't require surgery, leaves the Cowboys (4-2) with 40-year-old Brad Johnson as the starter. Johnson, who won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay, hasn't started a game since 2006 in Minnesota.
Injuries will also sideline backup running back Felix Jones, punter Mat McBriar and receiver Sam Hurd.The Cowboys continued to evaluate Jones' partially torn left hamstring suffered Sunday, but a source told Werder the team expected the rookie to miss two to four weeks.
McBriar, who was carted off the field after his kick was blocked by the Cardinals' Sean Morey on the game's final play Sunday, will be out six to eight weeks with a broken right foot, the Pro Bowler told ESPN.com's Matt Mosley.
The Cowboys' regular season ends in 11 weeks, on Dec. 28 at Philadelphia.
McBriar's injury -- one main fracture and two hairline fractures -- won't require surgery. He said it likely happened when he made contact with Morey's knee.
Hurd will undergo surgery for a high ankle sprain and miss the rest of the season.
