You're taking a major risk by putting Romo in. You're chances are dwindling each quarter without Romo, you're probably DOA if he's out for the year.

If your third QB is not on the active 45 but is rather an "emergency QB," then if he goes in your first two QB's cannot play in the game. It's a pretty big deal.
So, yes, Bollinger was suited up and ready to play. It was assumed that he would not be needed except in the case of Johnson being out for the game. For temporary problems with Johnson, Romo was ready to fill in.
