The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... In a conference call with season ticket holders on Tuesday, Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones said Romo should be ready not only for the start of training camp in late July, but Week 1 of the 2014 season. “Yes he will and he’s actually progressing great,” Jones said.

Diehards Line:And yes, we realize this isn't exactly breaking news. Nobody has expected Romo, who had back surgery two days before the end of the 2013 regular season, to be anything but full go once training camp opens -- and there's been absolutely no reason whatsoever to believe the QB won't be under center for the regular season opener. But repeated and continuing confirmation of what we already know is always nice. “He’s on schedule if not ahead of schedule," Jones said. "He’s throwing the ball around, we not only think he’ll be ready for opening week, he’ll start up at training camp and be ready to go. ..."
