CBS football analyst and former NFL quarterback Tony Romo is “on leave,” CBS Sports said Friday, a week after he was arrested in Milwaukee on suspicion of impaired driving
It wasn’t immediately clear if the decision to go on leave was made by Romo or CBS Sports
“Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice,” the network said in a statement
Romo was pulled over July 23 on southbound Interstate 43 at about 6:18 p.m. CT after he “performed poorly” on standardized field sobriety tests, according to Milwaukee County Sheriff’s records
He was booked on one count of allegedly operating while intoxicated and released
Romo is one-third of CBS’s top football team, which includes play-by-play man Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson
The broadcaster was ordered to appear in court on Sept. 21, which would be the Monday night of the NFL’s Week 2. The top CBS matchup of Week 2 figures to be the Pittsburgh Steelers visiting the AFC -champion New England Patriots on Sept. 20
