What happened: Tony Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS lead NFL analyst, was arrested in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, ESPN reported Thursday night. Romo retired from the Cowboys in 2017 and has called games as CBS's top NFL analyst since.

Why it matters: Romo remains one of the most visible figures in the sport, both as a Cowboys franchise icon and as the lead voice of the league's top broadcast booth. The arrest adds an off-field storyline heading into the 2026 season as the network prepares its fall broadcast lineup.

What to watch: Milwaukee authorities have not released further details on the arrest. A statement from Romo, the Cowboys or CBS Sports would be the next development to watch.
