Jason Witten has said that he would not be surprised to see Tony Romo play for the Dallas Cowboys this weekend.
The quarterback has a herniated disc in his back, but is receiving treatment in a bid to be able to play in the team's all-or-nothing meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday.
The tight end told ESPN: "I wouldn't count him out until he's out. There's no question. That wouldn't surprise me, but I do think obviously this is a different situation, [it] seems like, with the back and however that plays out.
"But you've got to prepare with Kyle [Orton] and go as if that's the case and then see how it plays out.
"Obviously for him and I, everything you've worked for [and] you've done over the course of a decade is for moments like this, and if he's not able to go, obviously that's a blow. But you want to do it for guys like that."
The Cowboys currently sit second in the NFC East, but can clinch the division with victory on Sunday.
