Mumford for Romo? QB's surgery plan could change after latest scan

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will undergo surgery with the goal of stabilizing his frequently broken left clavicle and is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks of action.

That much we know.

We still have little idea about the nature of the procedure. The options are either having a metal plate attached to the bone to help stabilize it or having part of the bone shaved off to help prevent future breaks.

Romo said at the NFL scouting combine he was leaning toward the metal plate, but a new report suggests the veteran passer is now leaning in the opposite direction.

A CT scan performed on Wednesday has pushed Romo toward a Mumford procedure, which involves shaving off part of the clavicle to release pressure against his shoulder, according to ESPN's Todd Archer.

Regardless of which procedure Romo eventually undergoes, he's expected to be healed in time to participate in OTAs in May and June.
