A back injury ended Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s season in December, and he’s still slowly recovering from surgery to repair a herniated disc. As his teammates are participating in organized team activities in the offseason, Romo has been lifting, running, and throwing more and more each day.

In a radio interview with 105.3 FM in Dallas, Romo said he’s on track to be 100% in time for the season.

“I feel like within the next month [I’ll] be 100%. Hopefully it’s in the next week or two, which is a viable and serious time that it actually could happen in. You know, it could be another two or three weeks. We’ll see here. We’ll be smart in OTAs, but at the same point, we’ve got to get to work.”

A shoulder injury cut Romo’s season short in 2010, but he’s proven to be durable since then, playing in 16 games in 2011 and 2012, and 15 before the back injury in 2013. Romo signed a six-year, $108 million extension in 2013. Romo, now 34 years old, says there’s “no question” that he’ll make it through the length of his contract.

“It’s a good question, it’s a question that could be asked…. There’s no question in my mind that not only will I make it though 16 games – I’ll make it through another five years.”

Romo also said he thinks the Cowboys, an 8-8 team that failed to make the playoffs last year, are primed to make a move in the NFC East.

“I’d like to think that we’re going to be much improved next year – but I also know that over the course of the next couple seasons we’re going to be a much better football team than we’ve been in the last few years.”
