Tony Romo will be sitting out the next couple of plays.
The former QB turned CBS analyst is “on leave” from the network “until further notice,” the network said in a statement on Friday.
Romo, 46, was arrested on last week in Wisconsin on suspicion of operating while under the influence.
Former NFL star JJ Watt will fill Romo’s role on the network’s top No. 1 team with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson, according to multiple reports.
CBS’ first regular-season broadcast comes on Sept. 13 for a Week 1 game.
Romo, who was named CBS’ top NFL analyst role after retiring from playing in 2017, was returning from the Wisconsin Amateur Championship golf tournament — in which he finished 35-over-par and won $60 — when he was pulled over pulled over while traveling south on Interstate 43.
A second citation viewed by The Post says Romo “drove “in the marked right distress lane to pass vehicles in lanes 1 and 2 during rush hour traffic” before he “cut across the marked gore” to get to where he wanted to go.
The disheveled ex-Cowboys QB told officers he had “zero” drinks and was one his way to visit “grandma and grandpa.”
Seemingly surprised at being pulled over, Romo said he planned to call his attorney when instructed to step out of his car for a sobriety test and began to film the interaction on his phone.
“Because I’m coming from a golf course you think I’m drunk?” he asked during his back-and-forth with officers before being cuffed and placed in the back of a cruiser.
One officer claimed Romo had an “open bottle of an alcoholic beverage” located on the passenger side of his black Jeep, according to a third citation viewed by The Post, performed poorly on field sobriety tests, and was later cited for “refuse to take test for intoxication after arrest.”
“I’ve heard from all the lawyers don’t ever do that,” he told officers. “So, we’re not going to do that.”
A spokesperson for the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office told The Post this week that because of the allegations against Romo, the case is “a traffic violation and not a criminal charge in Wisconsin.”
He is schedule for a court hearing on Sept. 21, but is not required to attend. He faces a total of $1,568.50 in fines.
Romo has yet to publicly address the situation.
Undrafted out of Eastern Illinois, Romo played his entire 13-year NFL career with the Cowboys, throwing for 34,183 yards and 248 touchdowns and earned Pro Bowl honors four times. He retired after the 2016 season.
