Former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was arrested last week in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence. While speculation about his role as the lead NFL analyst for CBS has run rampant in the days following his arrest, we now have an answer for how the network will handle the situation.
On Friday, CBS announced in a statement that Romo has been placed on leave. J.J. Watt will be filling in for him during his absence, joining announcer Jim Nantz and reporter Tracy Wolfson on the network’s lead NFL team.
