Tony Romo: 'I could play a game today'

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo insists that he "could play a game" today if he had to as he continues to recover from back surgery.

Tony Romo has said that he feels that he "could play a game" today as he continues to recover from back surgery.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback underwent surgery in December after suffering a herniated disc in his back, forcing him to miss to final game of the 2013 season.

The 34-year-old told the team's website: "I don't think it's slow anymore. I think earlier on, right after surgery, you kind of go through that mode of getting healthy, kind of having to not do too much right away, but now I'm to a point where you can push it and kind of go, and I feel like at this point I could play in a game if I had to.

"Obviously you wouldn't want to right yet, just to let it completely scar up and heal in all the areas that you want. But in the next couple weeks I think I'll be 100%.

"Your ultimate goal is to be 100% on day one of training camp so you don't miss any time. That's what, starting this process, you were thinking. Now I feel good enough that I'm taking reps and doing things out there, but at the same token you want to be smart and not do anything to set it back, per se. But I don't envision anything like that happening at this point."

Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden has been taking first-team snaps with the Cowboys while Romo continued his recovery.
