NEW YORK (AP) — CBS Sports president David Berson said Tuesday he does not have a timeline for a decision about Tony Romo’s future. Romo, the network’s lead NFL analyst, is on leave following his arrest last month in Wisconsin on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence.
“It’s an evolving situation, and therefore we’re still assessing,” Berson said during a network event. Berson also told reporters the decision to place Romo on indefinite leave was intended to shift attention toward the games and away from his legal situation.
Analyst JJ Watt will join play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS Sports’ lead NFL team during Romo’s absence. Romo, 46, has been the lead game analyst for CBS’ NFL coverage since 2017 after making four Pro Bowl appearances during a playing career that ran from 2004-16.
He was arrested July 23 after he was stopped while driving south on Interstate 43 in Wisconsin. According to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office, Romo performed poorly on field sobriety tests before getting arrested, booked and released. He has a court date set for Sept. 21.
CBS体育总裁表示尚无关于托尼·罗莫未来的决定时间表
纽约（美联社）——CBS体育总裁大卫·伯森周二表示，尚无关于托尼·罗莫未来的决定时间表。罗莫是该网络的首席NFL分析师，目前因上个月在威斯康星州因涉嫌酒后驾驶被捕而处于休假状态。
“这是一个不断发展的情况，因此我们仍在评估中，”伯森在一次网络活动中表示。伯森还告诉记者，决定将罗莫无限期休假是为了将注意力转向比赛，而不是他的法律问题。
分析师JJ·瓦特将在罗莫缺席期间加入CBS体育的NFL首发团队，与解说员吉姆·南茨和场边记者特雷西·沃尔夫森一起。现年46岁的罗莫自2017年以来一直是CBS NFL报道的首席比赛分析师，在2004年至2016年的职业生涯中曾四次入选职业碗。
他于7月23日在威斯康星州的43号州际公路南行时被拦下并被捕。根据密尔沃基县警长办公室的说法，罗莫在进行现场 sobriety 测试时表现不佳，随后被逮捕、预定并释放。他的庭审日期定于9月21日。
