IRVING, Texas – A decision on surgery for Tony Romo’s healing left collarbone is drawing closer, but a minor procedure in the coming weeks would not negatively impact the veteran quarterback’s offseason work.
On Saturday, Romo told reporters that a decision on surgery – most likely inserting a plate to help further strengthen the collarbone – will be made after a follow-up scan on his collarbone next week. A routine scan in early February showed good healing on its own.
Earlier in the week at the NFL Scouting Combine, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the prospect of surgery would simply be a “preventative” measure to help ensure Romo doesn’t suffer another fracture to the collarbone that would sideline him multiple weeks.
