Tony Romo Pleads No Contest to Charge of Operating While Intoxicated and Issues Statement of Apology
- On Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo pleaded no contest to a first-offense OWI charge in Milwaukee, marking a significant legal development in the case stemming from his July 23 arrest.
- Addressing his arrest on Instagram, Romo attributed his conduct to chronic pain from his 14-year NFL career, which led to dependence on pain medication and subsequent 'over-reliance on alcohol,' though he stressed this was not an excuse.
- CBS Sports placed Romo on leave 'until further notice' on July 31, with J.J. Watt joining Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson on the network's lead NFL broadcast team during his absence.
- The court ordered a six-month license revocation and $784 fine, requiring Romo to complete an Alcohol Assessment Program and install an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he owns.
- Romo provided no timetable for his return to CBS, stating he would focus on his health and family before resuming broadcasting; the network has indicated no current decision regarding his future.
