DALLAS -- Dak Prescott never gets tricked by the question, no matter how someone asks what happens when Tony Romo returns from his latest back injury.The answer will only get more complicated for the Cowboys if the rookie keeps playing this well in his record-setting debut.With a victory at home against Cincinnati on Sunday, Dallas (3-1) will be guaranteed a winning record for the widely projected Romo return date of Oct. 30.Then again, maybe its not complicated if you listen to tight end Jason Witten, Romos favorite target, close friend and teammate for all of their 14 seasons since they came into the NFL together with the Cowboys in 2003.I think its really simple, Witten said Monday at an appearance with U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch at a Dallas high school to announce a funding initiative for police departments around the country.I said how I feel about Tony, and I think theres only a few people that are on this planet that can do the things at that position what hes done in his career. Hell continue to come back and play at a high level.And Witten isnt trying to downgrade the performance of Prescott, who has an NFL rookie record of 131 pass attempts without an interception to start in his career.He has essentially shared the mark with Philadelphias Carson Wentz all season. Wentz, who is at 102, had last weekend off.To come in the situation and to play as well as he has, its been remarkable to be a part of and to watch, said Witten, who played a big role while Prescott ran the two-minute offense on a tying touchdown drive in the final two minutes of the first half in Sundays 24-17 win over San Francisco. Hes got a bright future ahead of him.Prescott has led the Cowboys to three straight wins after a loss in the opener dropped them to 1-14 without Romo since the 2013 finale.Dallas beat Washington with a fourth-quarter rally after giving up a 10-0 lead, took a big lead over Chicago in a comfortable win and came back from a 14-0 deficit in the second quarter against the 49ers.The 23-year-old is a victory away from the franchise rookie record for victories in a season, and hes the first Dallas rookie with consecutive games of a 100-plus passer rating.Every week, the questions for Jerry Jones get more direct over whether the owner and general manager is willing to let Prescott ride when Romo is ready.We know that we dream of having that kind of dilemma, Jones told reporters after the game in San Francisco.That is a good place to be as you look at the next 12 games in the NFL and playoffs is to be really sound at that position. I think we arent out over our skis a little bit to think that way.Yes, Jones said playoffs -- a year after the Cowboys slid from first to worst in the NFC East at 4-12 because they couldnt win without Romo and star receiver Dez Bryant, who has a hairline fracture in his right knee.Dallas beat the 49ers without both , and without Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith, starting guard Lael Collins and stabilizing cornerback Orlando Scandrick.Never mind the three suspended defensive players in pass rushers DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory and linebacker Rolando McClain.Lawrence returns this week after a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFLs substance-abuse policy.I didnt expect it, Jones said. They are not looking back. They are lining up with literally who we have at game time. I like that attitude. We learned a lot last year.Prescott has repeatedly said the Cowboys are still Romos team, and he didnt skip a beat when asked in a slightly different way after Sundays game if it was becoming his team.Either way, Witten says his relationship with Romo wont make his role as a leader more difficult.Our standards for what we want to accomplish (are) really high, Witten said.So youre always competing. The teams that create that usually play better. I think one of the things that weve seen with our team is that competition in camp and minicamps, I think youve seen the result pay off with the way weve played.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Alec Burks Cavaliers Jersey .

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey says starting left guard Quinton Spain has a bruised bone in his right knee and will miss up to four weeks.Mularkey said Monday the injury is serious but not as significant as the Titans had feared.Spain was carted off the field in the second quarter of a 34-26 loss to Indianapolis.Cornerback Perrish Cox is in the concussion protocol and likely will not be cleared to play Thursday night when the Titans (3-44) host the Jaguars (2-4).ddddddddddddMularkey says coaches will look options to replace both Spain and Cox in the starting lineup.
