--Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who wants to play despite a broken pinkie on his throwing hand, practiced and threw passes to receivers Thursday.
Coach Wade Phillips didn't rule out the possibility of Romo playing Sunday at St. Louis even though he said the quarterback was limited in practice Thursday and that Brad Johnson took most of the snaps.
"He threw the ball pretty well," Phillips said. "Just throwing the ball isn't all they do. … There's some other factors that we'll see as we go along here. We still have a couple of more days."
Romo, with a protective splint on his heavily wrapped hand, threw lightly to all receivers during the early portion of practice that was open to reporters. Johnson, the 40-year-old backup whose last start was in 2006 for Minnesota, was working with the starters during drills.
Romo never handed off to running backs during the two-hour practice.
Phillips said he would probably know after practice Friday "what direction we want to go" as far as Romo playing. But he wasn't planning to make any announcement.
"I won't wait until Sunday [to decide]," Phillips said. "I'm not telling anybody."
