. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo had one of his best practice days of camp Monday, completing 15 of 19 passes in team work and 7-on-7 drills. He was eight for eight in 7-on-7 drills.

Romo is coming off arguably the best off-season of his career, and he feels like he can return to his 2014 form when he had an MVP-type season. So does coach Jason Garrett.

Romo had a full off-season for the first time since 2012 as he’s dealt with multiple back surgeries in recent years. He underwent surgery on his left collarbone, but that healed quick enough to allow him to partake in most of the off-season work.

“Tony’s had a very good camp,” Garrett said. “Again, the off-season program for him this year was a little bit different in that he was able to do a lot more. I thought that laid a good foundation for his fundamentals and really just kind of giving him a chance to come into training camp maybe a little further ahead than he’s been.

“I think that’s a good thing for him. Obviously, he has command of our offense and has a great understanding of what defenses are trying to do. I think he’s played well. I thought he was particularly sharp yesterday – 7-on-7 was outstanding. He’s playing well.”
