Key Points:

  • Tony Romo faces three additional citations related to his July 23 arrest in Wisconsin for suspected operating a vehicle while intoxicated, including open intoxicants in a motor vehicle, unsafe passing on the right, and first-offense operating while intoxicated.
  • Romo was placed on leave from his role as CBS' lead NFL game analyst following the arrest, and CBS Sports president David Berson has not announced a timeline for decisions regarding Romo's future with the network.
  • Analyst JJ Watt will temporarily replace Romo alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, starting with the September 13 game between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers.
  • During the arrest, Romo performed poorly on field sobriety tests, and an open alcoholic beverage was found in his vehicle; body camera footage showed Romo claiming he was coming from a golf course and heading to visit family.
  • Romo, a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and franchise leader in touchdown passes, has accepted full responsibility and is cooperating with authorities to resolve the matter while communicating with CBS about next steps.
