Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo appears fine after he left the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night due to back tightness.

On Dallas' third offensive play, Romo scrambled from the pocket, then went into a slide near the line of scrimmage, where he was crunched by Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril from the blind side.

Romo did not have any X-rays, but he spent the second half of the game in the locker room.

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the back soreness would not limit Romo's ability to be ready for the September 11 season-opener against the New York Giants.
