The Facts: Just two months ago, Romo had surgery to repair his left distal clavicle. The Cowboys said Romo would need six to eight weeks of recovery before he returned to full football activity. Well, Romo didn't need the full eight weeks and, by all accounts, he's expected to be a full participant when the club begins its offseason practices late this month with organized team activities. In fact, QBs coach Wade Wilson said that Romo hasn't been limited at all in recent weeks as he's been taking part in the Cowboys' offseason workouts.
Diehards Line:
"He's looking good," Wilson said. "We had two practices where we've been out here on the field with the guys and he's done everything. He's throwing, he's got good velocity on all of his throws, great movement in his legs. He looks like he's re-energized because he hadn't played, you know, missed the majority of the season. So he's real energized and anxious to get going. ..." As always, Romo is in charge of when he should push and when he should pull back. Wilson said the Cowboys haven't had Romo on any pitch-count with his throws, allowing him to manage any soreness that might pop up from time to time. As NFL.com notes, with Dallas keeping Kellen Moore as the primary backup, and with fourth-round pick Dak Prescott needing time to learn, Romo's health is a vital storyline for the Cowboys in 2016.
