CBS Sports and Tony Romo mutually parted ways on Friday, about 10 weeks after the broadcaster’s arrest for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Romo, a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback who had been the network’s lead NFL analyst since 2017, pleaded no contest to the civil charge in a Wisconsin court on Sept. 1.
The statement added that J.J. Watt will continue to partner with play-by-play veteran Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on its No. 1 broadcast team for the remainder of the 2026 NFL season.
Romo, 46, was pulled over and arrested on July 23 after he left a golf course in Wisconsin, prompting CBS to place him on an indefinite leave.
After pleading no contest to the OWI charge last month, Romo issued a statement that said his football injuries indirectly led to an “over-reliance on alcohol.”
In his playing days, Romo suffered significant injuries to his back, as well as three broken collarbones. He missed 10 regular-season games in 2010 and 12 in 2015, and he appeared in just one game in his final season.
