Romo 'throwing fully' after collarbone surgery
Tony Romo appears on track to be ready for most of the Dallas Cowboys' offseason workouts.
The quarterback said his rehab from collarbone surgery is going well, and he's been throwing without limitations for some time, according to David Moore of the Dallas Morning News.
"I can throw fully," Romo said. "I've been throwing fully here for a good week and a half, two weeks. It's been good."
After weeks of apparent deliberation, Romo underwent a Mumford procedure on the clavicle he fractured twice during the 2015 season. Rather than having a plate inserted for extra protection, the surgery shaves a portion of the clavicle to create space and relieve pressure.
The Cowboys announced at the time of the procedure that Romo was expected to be facing a six-to-eight week recovery period before he'd be able to return to football activities.
With injuries limiting Romo to just four games last year, forcing several backups into spot duty, Dallas finished the season a disappointing 4-12.
The 35-year-old's return will be the key factor in the Cowboys' chances of bouncing back and emerging as a playoff contender.
