Romo opts for Mumford procedure, source says

IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will undergo a Mumford procedure on his left collarbone next week, according to a source.

Romo had been contemplating having a plate inserted into his collarbone as late as last week. However, after undergoing a CT scan on Wednesday, he opted for the Mumford procedure, in which the distal part of the clavicle is shaved down to release potential pressure against the shoulder.

The time frame for recovery is six to eight weeks. Romo is expected to be able to participate in organized team activities in May and June.
