Cowboys - no playoffs in sight for this team!

Parcells makes Henson third QB, insists it's not a demotion

Drew Henson lasted just two quarters as the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Three weeks later, he's not even their top backup.

Henson was dropped to No. 3 this week, with Tony Romo moving up to No. 2. Romo has been with the team since the start of last season without taking a snap in a regular-season game.

Romo revealed the change Wednesday, soon after Parcells said he hadn't set the depth chart. At his daily news conference Thursday, Parcells insisted the new order was no big deal, saying he likes to flip-flop them every so often "to make sure they are staying in tune with what we're doing and preparing for the game like they're going to play in it."
