CBS Sports chief says no decision timeline for Tony Romo following OWI arrest

CBS Sports president David Berson said Tuesday that

CBS Sports president David Berson said Tuesday that the network has not set a specific date for resolving Tony Romo's status with the company. Romo, the lead NFL analyst, has been away from his duties since his arrest in Wisconsin last month on suspicion of drunk driving.

Berson, speaking during a media conference call, acknowledged the situation is still under review. 'We are assessing the matter and will determine appropriate next steps,' he said, adding that the network is taking the matter seriously.

The arrest occurred on June 22 in Muskego, Wisconsin, where police say Romo was found asleep in his vehicle. He was taken into custody and later released, with charges still pending. Romo has not publicly commented on the incident.

In the interim, CBS has announced that JJ

In the interim, CBS has announced that JJ Watt, the former NFL defensive end who joined the network as an analyst earlier this year, will step in alongside Jim Nantz for the network's lead broadcast team during Romo's absence. Watt has been preparing for the role, which will cover the upcoming NFL season.

Industry observers note that Romo's future with CBS could hinge on the outcome of his legal case, as well as internal policy considerations. The network has not indicated whether Romo might return at some point this season or if his absence could extend beyond that.

Berson declined to elaborate on possible disciplinary actions, citing privacy concerns. He did, however, express confidence in the current broadcast lineup, stating that CBS remains committed to delivering high-quality NFL coverage.
