Indianapolis, IN, August 12, 2026 —

The future of CBS Sports’ lead NFL analyst, Tony Romo, remains uncertain as the network has not established a timeline for a decision following his recent leave of absence. Romo is currently on leave after being arrested in Wisconsin on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence (OWI).

David Berson, president of CBS Sports, confirmed that there is no set date for when a decision regarding Romo’s role will be made. The network has not provided further details on the specifics of Romo’s leave or the ongoing process to address his situation.

The arrest occurred in Wisconsin, though the specific location and date were not immediately provided. Romo faces allegations of operating a vehicle while under the influence, a charge that has prompted his current absence from his broadcasting duties.

CBS Sports has opted to defer comment on any potential disciplinary actions or future broadcasting plans for Romo until more information is available or a decision has been reached. The lack of a defined timeline suggests the network is taking a cautious approach while awaiting further developments.

Tony Romo has been a prominent figure in NFL broadcasting since joining CBS in 2017. His departure from the booth has left a vacancy that the network is currently managing without a clear resolution in sight.
