Tony Romo has been listed as a full practice participant for the first time since the Dallas Cowboys quarterback broke a bone in his back in a pre-season NFL game in August.

The 36-year-old Romo ran with the scout team at training on Wednesday.

Rookie Dak Prescott remains the starter with the Cowboys (7-1) surging to the best record in the NFC with a seven-game winning streak.

Dallas visit Pittsburgh (4-4) on Sunday.

Coach Jason Garrett said the starting quarterback gets almost all the reps with the first team in practice, and that plan was no different this week.
