IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo’s injured right ankle didn’t keep him from practicing Wednesday. He will start against the New York Giants on Sunday.

“I’ll be fine. There’s nothing wrong with it,” Romo said. “ ... It will be 100 percent.”
Romo missed three games last year with a fractured right pinkie finger. He had other injuries last season, too, including a gash to his chin and lower back pain.
“That’s just part of the game,” Romo said. “Playing football, it’s just ... an old guy once said, ’It’s football season. Football players play football. That’s just part of the game.’ “
Romo passed for a career-high 353 yards and threw three touchdowns in the Cowboys’ 34-21 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It earned Romo a nomination for the FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week award.
“I just think we’re executing each individual play maybe a little bit better,” Romo said. “We went through stretches last year where we did that. We have a lot of guys healthy this year so we’re able to do some different things. Some young guys have gotten a little older; they know the system better, so we can do some different things in regards to protection and alignment and stuff of that nature.”
Strong safety Gerald Sensabaugh (ribs) and running back Felix Jones (thigh) also practiced Wednesday. Outside linebacker Curtis Johnson, who has been rehabbing a hamstring injury since the Cowboys claimed him off waivers last month, practiced with his new team for the first time.
Sensabaugh fined
Safety Gerald Sensabaugh received a letter from the NFL on Wednesday, informing him that he is being fined $5,000 for a horse-collar tackle. Sensabaugh was not penalized when he pulled down Bucs running back Carnell “Cadillac” Williams from behind in the second quarter, but, after watching game tapes, the league decided it was an illegal hit.
Sensabaugh said he will appeal.
“I didn’t think it was a horse collar, because I didn’t grab him by (the back of) his shoulder pads. It was more of his jersey,” Sensabaugh said.
Williams is coming off his second surgery for a torn patellar tendon in as many years.
“That one kind of made me nervous,” Williams told Tampa reporters. “When I saw it on film, it looked worse than I remembered.”
The horse-collar tackle was banned in 2005. It has come to be known as the Roy Williams Rule for the former Cowboys safety.
Cowboys work at Carroll
Rain forced the Cowboys to bus to Southlake to practice at Carroll High School’s indoor facility Wednesday afternoon. It’s the first time weather has interrupted a practice session since the Cowboys’ indoor facility collapsed May 2 during a rookie minicamp.
“We were working on the run game offensively and defensively, and I didn’t want anybody slipping around,” Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said. “I wanted to be able to come off the ball on both sides and be physical.”
The Cowboys were a welcome sight to many Carroll students, some of whom stood out in the light rainfall to catch a glimpse inside the facility of the first 25 minutes of practice when the media is permitted to watch.
Stephen Jones, the Cowboys’ chief operating officer, has said the team could practice at Cowboys Stadium if weather forces them indoors.
