Cowboys' Romo returns to NFL full training

Dallas Cowboys veteran quarterback Tony Romo has returned to full training for the first time since breaking a bone in his back in August.

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.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who went 13-0 in the regular season as the starter when he was a rookie in 2004, said it would be "really hard to kind of change that position" with the Cowboys rolling the way they are.
