Diehards Line:Romo underwent minor surgery to have a non-cancerous cyst removed from his back in April. The surgery prevented Romo from participating in offseason workouts other than some light throwing in walk-through practices. Romo and team officials have said he wasn't practicing as more of a precaution. Today's news lends further credence to that.
