July 31 - CBS Sports has placed No. 1 football analyst Tony Romo on indefinite leave following his arrest on suspicion of operating while ​intoxicated.

The news was announced Friday in a terse statement from ‌the network.

"Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice," read the statement.

ESPN reported that JJ Watt, former NFL ​defensive player of the year, will replace Romo and partner ​with play-by-player caller Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy ⁠Wolfson on CBS' top broadcast team while Romo is on leave.

Romo, ​46, was pulled over July 23 at around 6:15 p.m. while ​traveling southbound on Interstate 43 in Milwaukee. He had been in Wisconsin to play in a golf tournament.

Romo has been the lead analyst at CBS since ​2017. The former quarterback took the job following his final ​season with the Dallas Cowboys.

He is working on a 10-year, $180 million contract that ‌runs ⁠through the 2030 season.

Romo, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, was arrested after he "performed poorly" on standardized field sobriety tests, per the police report, and released at approximately 11 p.m.

A citation issued by the ​Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office ​noted an "open ⁠bottle of an alcoholic beverage" was found in the passenger side during an inventory of Romo's vehicle.

According ​to the citation, Romo faces a $267 fine for ​the alleged ⁠offense. He has a court date scheduled for Sept. 21 on the charge of operating a vehicle while under the influence.

A first-offense ⁠OWI generally ​is a civil offense, not a ​criminal charge, in Wisconsin. The police report indicated a fine of $1,066 for this charge, as ​well as a $235 fine for "unsafe passing on the right."
