Romo leaning towards getting plate in collarbone

Tony Romo's offseason decision on surgery is coming to a head.

The Dallas Cowboys' quarterback told NFL Media's Desmond Purnell on Saturday he is "leaning towards" getting a plate inserted to reinforce his collarbone, but won't make a decision until after a scan.

"We're going to have the CT scan next week and go from there," Romo said. "Most likely I'm leaning towards getting the plate. We'll see though how strong it is. Really if it's as strong as we want then we won't do anything, but I think we're leaning towards the plate.
