Tony Romo placed on leave from CBS Sports after DUI arrest

The network's top NFL analyst stepped back from broadcast duties following a police arrest disclosed last week.

Tony Romo has been placed on leave from his position as lead analyst for CBS Sports' NFL coverage, the network confirmed, following his arrest last week on suspicion of operating a vehicle under the influence.

Details of the arrest, including the exact date and location, were not fully disclosed in available reports. CBS Sports has not said when Romo might return to the broadcast booth.

Romo has served as the network's top NFL color commentator, working alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz on marquee game broadcasts since retiring as an NFL quarterback.
