CBS Sports has placed NFL analyst Tony Romo on leave “until further notice” following his arrest in Wisconsin last week on suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI).
“Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice,” the network said in a statement.

ESPN shared further:
Romo received three citations from the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office following a July 23 traffic stop after he was seen passing cars in a gore area, which separates interstate traffic from cars entering from an on-ramp.
He performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was taken into custody, booked and released.
Meanwhile, former NFL star J.J. Watt will fill Romo’s role on the network’s top team with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson.
Watt, a three-time NFL defensive player of the year, usually works with Ian Eagle on the network’s No. 2 team.
CBS Sports announced that lead NFL color commentator Tony Romo has been placed on indefinite leave.

More from the New York Post:
The disheveled ex-Cowboys QB told officers he had “zero” drinks and was on his way to visit “grandma and grandpa.”
Seemingly surprised at being pulled over, Romo said he planned to call his attorney when instructed to step out of his car for a sobriety test and began to film the interaction on his phone.
“Because I’m coming from a golf course you think I’m drunk?” he asked during his back-and-forth with officers before being cuffed and placed in the back of a cruiser.
One officer claimed Romo had an “open bottle of an alcoholic beverage” located on the passenger side of his black Jeep, according to a third citation viewed by The Post, performed poorly on field sobriety tests, and was later cited for “refuse to take test for intoxication after arrest.”
ADVERTISEMENT“I’ve heard from all the lawyers don’t ever do that,” he told officers. “So, we’re not going to do that.”
A spokesperson for the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office told The Post this week that because of the allegations against Romo, the case is “a traffic violation and not a criminal charge in Wisconsin.”
He is scheduled for a court hearing on Sept. 21, but is not required to attend. He faces a total of $1,568.50 in fines.
