News: Werder: Tony Romo to have surgery

Now, if Tony's back can be improved with work, the Cowboys should be fine.

 

[YosemiteSam]

They should amputate.

 

[Direwolf63]

Hopefully he will be ready for training camp. Even some OTA activity, although I'm sure he won't participate much, even if he's ready.

 

[Doc50]

Should have done this last year, when the recent fracture first occurred.

 

[jchap]

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Tony Romo will be that man. Better than he was before. Better... stronger... faster.

Adamantium> titanium.

 

[Derinyar]

he doesn't need the admantium skeleton just the healing powers. Enter the Wolvaromo.

Along with his back, another visible target area of Romo for every defensive coordinator Dallas plays next year.
Sure no intentional hits, but Romo's collarbone region will be a bull's-eye for opposing defensive players on sacks, pressure plays, & hits after throws.

Draft the QB and by the third game, the rookie QB will play.

Good. Make him Wolverine.

Don't say nothing bad about Romo. Dudes be in their feeling around here.

 

[jobberone]

8-10 weeks. Participate no later mid camp.

Only when you say something completely ignorant. Future injury to Romo is obviously a reasonable worry.

 

[Alexander]

Good news.

Remember when Dr. Jerry Jones saw the X-rays and said it was not necessary?

Good times.

 

[visionary]

I can already hear the excuses for next seasons struggles.....

While the last few years have been extremely frustrating for Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys and their fans, the quarterback has good news as it relates to the future.

Speaking about his oft-injured back, he revealed encouraging news, via Jon Machota of The Dallas Morning News:

Tony Romo: My back is "as strong as it's been in 3-4 years. That's exciting...I'm able to do things I wasn't able to do last year."

Romo, at the age of 35 (he’ll be 36 next season) has missed 14 games since the start of the 2013 season.

He underwent microdiscectomy surgery to repair a herniated disc in December of 2013 and then suffered two fractured transverse processes in his back last season. Then he missed most of this past campaign with a fractured collarbone, which he actually suffered twice...

 

[MRV52]

They might want to strengthen the other side too since they are at it already.

 

[Alexander]

All in all, has any QB ever had this done?

I cannot think of any.
