CBS体育总裁大卫·贝松表示，关于NFL首席分析员托尼·罗莫的职业前景暂无明确时间表[1]。罗莫因7月23日在威斯康星州州际公路43号上涉嫌酒后驾车被逮捕，目前已无限期休假[1]。他的法庭开庭日期定于9月21日[1]。
在罗莫缺席期间，CBS体育已任命分析员JJ瓦特加入其旗舰NFL转播团队，与解说员吉姆·南茨和记者特蕾西·沃尔夫森组成新的转播阵容[1]。这支新团队将在9月13日明尼苏达维京人队主场对阵绿湾包装工队的比赛中首次亮相[1]。
罗莫自2017年以来一直担任CBS NFL报道的首席游戏分析员[1]。其职业生涯从2004年至2016年全部效力于达拉斯牛仔队，期间4次入选职业碗[1]。
CBS Sports President David Berson announced there is no set timeline for determining the future status of Tony Romo, the network's lead NFL analyst who is currently on indefinite leave [1]. Romo's absence follows his arrest on July 23 on suspicion of driving under the influence on Interstate 43 in Wisconsin, with his court date scheduled for September 21 [1].
To fill the void during Romo's hiatus, former NFL defensive end JJ Watt will join CBS Sports' lead NFL broadcast team alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson, with their first assignment set for September 13 when the Minnesota Vikings visit the Green Bay Packers [1]. Romo has served as the chief game analyst for CBS's NFL coverage since 2017, bringing experience from his playing career with the Dallas Cowboys from 2004 to 2016, during which he was selected to the Pro Bowl four times [1].
