Tony Romo is coming back to AT&T Stadium.

The former starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys played coy last week when he was asked if he could return to the NFL.

But in Week 6, Romo, along with Jim Nantz, will call his old team’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. CBS will broadcast that game at 3:25 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14.

The news was announced by reporters at multiple outlets, including Ben Volin of the Boston Globe an Shlomo Sprung of AwfulAnnouncing.com.

This week, head coach Jason Garrett, quarterback Dak Prescott and the Cowboys will travel down to Houston for a highly anticipated showdown with the Texans.

That game, which will be broadcast on NBC’s ‘Sunday Night Football,’ is scheduled for an 7:20 p.m. kickoff.

During his radio show on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, owner Jerry Jones confirmed that Romo will be inducted into the Cowboys’ Ring of Honor.

That information was previously revealed on Romo’s episode of “A Football Life” documentary, which aired on the NFL Network last week.

Jones did not say when the induction would take place.
