 Romo, who injured his back for the third time in the last 18
months two weeks ago, sat out last week's loss to the Arizona
Cardinals and skipped the team's first practice in London on
Wednesday, but he participated in drills Thursday and Friday.
The Cowboys (6-3) play the Jaguars (1-8) at Wembley Stadium in the
last of three regular-season games in London this year.
Quarterback Carson Palmer and the Arizona Cardinals have reached
agreement on a three-year contract extension worth $50 million, CBS
Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported Friday.
Palmer would have become a free agent after the 2014 season if he
had not signed an extension.
He has led Arizona to a 7-1 record, and the Cardinals are 5-0 in the
games Palmer played.
Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said that tight end Tyler
Eifert, who is currently on the on injured reserve/designated for
return with a dislocated right elbow suffered on Sept. 7, may not
play again this season.
 Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson and wide receiver Sammy
Watkins are listed as questionable with groin injuries for Sunday's
game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is listed as probable
for Sunday night's game against the Chicago Bears.
Rodgers suffered a hamstring injury in Week Eight at New Orleans,
but it does not appear to be hindering his ability to prepare for
the game in Chicago.
Packers starting guards Josh Sitton (toe) and T.J. Lang (ankle) are
both listed as questionable.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin (ankle), cornerback
Alterraun Verner (hamstring) and offensive tackle Anthony Collins
(foot) are listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Atlanta
Falcons.
Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs was fined $8,268
for a late hit on Pittsburgh Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount
during Sunday's game, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Also, Ravens linebacker Courtney Upshaw was fined $20,000 for a
roughing-the-passer penalty.

San Diego Chargers wide receiver Seyi Ajirotutu drew a $27,562 fine
from the NFL after he came in contact with an official during a 37-0
loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Ajirotutu was ejected in the third quarter for touching a referee
during an altercation with a Dolphins player.
Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy, who has been on
the commissioner's exempt list since Sept. 17, said he is hopeful to
return this season.
"I want to play, man," Hardy told ESPN.com. "My team, you know, is
losing right now. So I can't wait."
Hardy has been on the list with pay while his domestic violence case
is pending. The trial in Mecklenburg County (N.C) was recently
postponed until early 2015.
Despite his disappointment, Tennessee Titans president and CEO Tommy
Smith said that he has no plans to make changes at the top with
general manager Ruston Webster and head coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Former Titans kicker Rob Bironas was driving at more than twice the
speed limit when he crashed his SUV and was killed in September, the
Tennessean reported based on information from the Metro Police
Department's Crash Investigative Unit.
The report stated Bironas was going 73 mph when he lost control of
his vehicle, causing him to go off the road. The speed limit is 35
mph.
