Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Marcus Johansson was back in Toronto for another arbitration hearing with the Washington Capitals, but this time he didnt have to go through with it.Hours before Johansson and the Capitals were set to go to arbitration for the second time, they agreed on a $13.75 million, three-year deal. The 25-year-old Swedish forward will count $4.583 million against the salary cap, almost exactly between the two sides arbitration asking prices but on a longer contract.Johansson got as close as the entrance to the hotel where NHL arbitration cases are heard before the deal got done.I dont think anyone wants to go to arbitration. Thats kind of a last resort, Johansson said on a conference call from Toronto on Wednesday. It was a little tight schedule before the meeting, but Im really happy that we worked it out.Johansson will make $4.25 million next season and $4.75 million in 2017-18 and 2018-19 on a contract thats similar to the one former teammate Mathieu Perreault signed as a restricted free agent with the Winnipeg Jets earlier this summer.The $4.583 million cap hit fits into Washingtons offseason plan with one more restricted free agent left to sign in defenseman Dmitry Orlov. The Capitals won the Presidents Trophy as the leagues top regular-season team a year ago and will have almost the same group back to take another shot at the Stanley Cup next season.To be able to keep the team, its hard, Johansson said. Its hard for everyone. Im just happy we were able to figure it out in the end. To be able to be part of this team for three more years, thats important to me. I thinnk both parties are happy with it.dddddddddddd Theres obviously the cap in the NHL and they have to find a way to stay under it.Johansson had 17 goals and 29 assists for 46 points in 74 games last season. In 419 regular-season NHL games, Johansson has 78 goals and 154 assists for 232 points and has added 22 points in the playoffs.Under coach Barry Trotz, Johansson has developed his all-around game and improved his production by going to the net more.Thats been a part of my game that Ive been working on and trying to score more goals and get more pucks to the net, Johansson said. You always want to be part of it and score goals. Thats always a fun part. But as long as you feel youre improving on it and getting better, I think thats a sign that youre moving in the right direction.Signing him for three years takes some of the mystery out of next summer, when the Capitals have forwards T.J. Oshie, Justin Williams and Daniel Winnik and defenseman Karl Alzner as unrestricted free agents and forwards Evgeny Kuznetsov and Andre Burakovsky as restricted free agents.This offseason Washington acquired center Lars Eller in a trade with the Montreal Canadiens and let long-time left winger Jason Chimera leave in free agency. Johansson said the Capitals continue to make moves to improve.Mac has done a great job getting us what we need, he said. I think last year we showed that were really contending. ... This is a team and a group that I really think we can win with.
