Cowboys’ Tony Romo weighing options on collarbone fix

The Mumford procedure is where a portion of the distal clavicle is shaved off or removed.

Romo said back in January that he’d likely have the surgery, with a final decision coming in late February or early March. “Obviously that’s something that he’ll decide to have it or not decide to have it. It’s preventative type surgery, and I think he’s wanting to make sure if he does do it it’s the right way to do it”.

The recovery time from either surgery is 6-8 weeks, putting him back for organized team activities in May.

Jones said that Romo “may play three of four more years”, which would ostensibly keep the Cowboys out of the top of the draft order.

For what it is worth, Romo has broken his collarbone a total of three times since 2010. “You know what, a couple days later, Quincy Carter gets cut for reasons unknown, I end up making the team and the rest is history as they say”.

“I was like, ‘If I’m not meant to be the quarterback here or play quarterback in the National Football League, that’s fine”, he said. “I think with a healthy Romo we all feel like….” That said, they can’t swing and miss on this choice, because they are still battling some depth chart issues, As the offseason is set to officially begin, here are five players the Cowboys should look really hard at when it is their turn to make their first-round selection.

While the Cowboys are doing their due diligence on quarterbacks in the draft, leaving open the possibility of using the fourth overall pick on the position, they also maintain faith that Romo has several good years ahead of him. “If that were the case, that’s great, because that means he’s playing lights out for 3-4 more years, and that means we’re successful because that’s happened”.
