Romo went on injured reserve Tuesday, eliminating any chance of him playing Saturday night at Arizona or in the season finale at Philadelphia.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said he would not put quarterback Brett Favre on season-ending injured reserve with a concussion and wouldn't rule out a return to the field before the season ends.
