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.
Romo had been contemplating having a plate inserted into the collarbone for added protection.
