Tony Romo, the former NFL quarterback and current CBS analyst, has been placed on leave from the network "until further notice," CBS confirmed Friday. The decision follows Romo's arrest last week on suspicion of operating while under the influence (OWI), according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office.
Citations viewed by The Post indicate that an officer observed an open bottle of an alcoholic beverage in the passenger seat of Romo's vehicle. The 46-year-old analyst was subsequently cited for refusing to take a test for intoxication after his arrest.
Romo, who transitioned to broadcasting after his playing career, has been a prominent color commentator for CBS Sports, often working alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz for NFL games.
