Weeden will start Sunday against the Cardinals in place of the injured Tony Romo (back), NFL.com reports. Romo was listed as questionable coming into the game, but a diagnosis of two transverse process fractures in his back likely killed any possibility of playing Sunday. It's a solid opportunity for Weeden, who will face off against a Cardinals defense ranked dead last in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game, giving up 302.9 weekly.
