The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Romo attended Saturday night’s Duke basketball victory over North Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Following the game, Romo gave ESPN’s Rece Davis an update on how his back is progressing. Romo had surgery in December to repair a herniated disk. “It’s going good,” Romo said. “We’re getting close now. Usually it takes three months, it’s just normal kind of roundabout date that they give you and we’re right on schedule. Really ahead in a lot of ways. Just going to be ready to go here in about a month and rehab is going good, no setbacks of any kind.”

Diehards Line: While Romo and HC Garrett were in Durham, N.C. to spend some time with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and his basketball program, Jeff Gravley of WRAL-TV in Raleigh tweeted before the game that Romo and Garrett had been working with Duke football coach David Cutcliffe. Cutcliffe was instrumental in helping Peyton Manning rehab after his 2011 neck surgery. Cutcliffe, who worked with Manning on rebuilding his mechanics, and Morning News staffer Jon Machota notes the coach could be doing the same with Romo, who is expected to be on the field when the Cowboys begin their OTAs on April 21.
