 According to ESPN sources, the Cowboys project a six- to eight-week
recovery for Romo following his surgery.
Romo has broken the left clavicle three different times over the
last five years.
"I think we know which way we're siding and we've had exhaustive
discussions about it," Romo said about the possibility of surgery.
Romo will have a CT scan on his collarbone sometime this week. It
should determine whether sufficient healing has taken place to
support the hardware that surgeons will attach to strengthen the
left clavicle, according to ESPN.
Romo, who turns 36 in April, has not played all 16 games in a season
since 2012.
