Report: Tony Romo begins exercises

Tony Romo has started the first phase of exercises following back surgery, according to reports.

The Dallas Cowboys quarterback missed the final game of the 2013 NFL season after suffering a herniated disc.

ESPN reports that the 33-year-old is doing core and stabilisation work as he begins his rehab from the discectomy.

Head coach Jason Garrett recently said that he expects Romo to be ready for the start of the team's off-season program in the spring.
