Romo is slated for a CT scan this coming week, which will help determine whether or not the QB will elect to undergo a procedure to insert a plate to help strengthen his collarbone, the Dallas Morning News reports.

Analysis:

At this point, Romo is thought to be leaning toward having the procedure done on his left collarbone, though per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, such a call hinges on the QB's CT scan ensuring that the bone is fully healed. If he does undergo the procedure, Romo believes that he'd be ready for the Cowboys' OTAs and minicamp, given a recovery time that is typically in the 6-8 week range. Meanwhile, ESPN.com relays Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones' continued commitment to Romo as his franchise QB.
