Romo undergoes surgery on collarbone Tuesday
playESPN Cowboys reporter Todd Archer explains that Tony Romo will be ready for the start of the season despite the surgery he'll have next week on his collarbone. (2:43)IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will undergo surgery Tuesday on his left collarbone, according to sources.
Last week it was decided Romo would undergo a Mumford procedure. The surgery requires the distal part of the clavicle to be shaved, creating space between the shoulder joint to relieve potential pressure from a similar hit that led to the quarterback breaking the collarbone twice in 2015.
Emmitt Smith had a similar procedure done when he played for the Cowboys.
