Tony Romo suspended by CBS Sports after DUI arrest

Tony Romo CBS Sports DUI arrest J.J. Watt NFL analyst

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and CBS Sports lead NFL analyst Tony Romo was arrested on July 23 in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, on suspicion of operating while intoxicated. Police said Romo performed poorly on field‑sobriety tests, refused a breath‑alyzer, and an open container of alcohol was found in his Jeep. He was booked, cited for several offenses and released pending a court appearance scheduled for September 21.

CBS announced that Romo will be placed on leave “until further notice.” The network also said former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt will fill Romo’s role alongside veteran play‑by‑play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on the network’s top NFL broadcast team. Romo’s $18 million‑per‑year contract could be terminated as a result of the incident.

The arrest and suspension have raised questions about the future of CBS’s NFL coverage ahead of the 2026 season, while Romo’s legal case proceeds in Wisconsin.
