CBS announces next two weeks of broadcasters, with no Tony Romo
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- CBS has not provided further updates on the status of its No. 1 NFL analyst Tony Romo since placing him on leave, confirming only that his leave will extend beyond Week 4.
- The Week 2 and Week 3 broadcast teams have been announced, with Jim Nantz and J.J. Watt continuing as the top team, including the Ravens-Cowboys game in Brazil.
- Many insiders believe Romo will not return to CBS this season and may never resume his role, with a potential buyout being the likely resolution.
- Romo’s September 1 statement about pleading no-contest to OWI charges in Milwaukee was met with silence from CBS, signaling possible distancing by the network.
- CBS appears to be gradually phasing Romo out, as evidenced by Watt replacing him from Week 1 onward, without an official statement ending their relationship.
