The network is still assessing the NFL analyst’s future as sports chief cites concerns about CBS’ "image and brand" The post CBS Sports Has ‘No Timetable’ for Tony Romo Return After DUI Arrest appeared first on TheWrap .
CBS Sports remains uncertain about whether Tony Romo will rejoin the broadcast team following his DUI arrest in July, with network chief David Berson stating there is "no timetable" for a decision. At CBS Sports' annual NFL season preview event in New York, Berson explained that the situation is "evolving," and they are still "investigating."
The network had placed Romo on leave "until further notice" on July 31 after his arrest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. J.J. Watt was subsequently brought in to replace Romo in the lead broadcast booth, alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson. Berson emphasized that CBS is mindful of the potential impact on its image and brand, stating that they must prioritize their presentation and the quality of their product.
Romo's court date is set for September 21, following the start of CBS' NFL season. The network's decision to move forward with Watt during Romo's absence is attributed to the availability of a deep bench and the support from all team members.
