The drama surrounding Tony Romo's back injury continues to simmer.

Romo underwent an epidural injection presumably to diminish the swelling and pain in his ailing back per this report.

Meanwhile the Cowboys are getting veteran Kyle Orton ready to play the Eagles in the NFC East title showdown Sunday night at AT&T Stadium.

Flexing the game from early afternoon to evening obviously has lost part of its luster with the status of Romo in doubt. Orton versus Nick Foles doesn't have much curb appeal.
