Former NFL quarterback Tony Romo admitted to a civil offense related to operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) in Wisconsin, as revealed in court documents. Romo, 46, made the plea following his arrest during a July traffic stop in Milwaukee. As part of the agreement, he will have his driving privileges suspended for six months and pay a $748 fine. Romo shared his admission in a statement posted on Instagram after the incident. In the statement, Romo explained that he had been dealing with chronic pain from multiple back surgeries, which forced him to retire from the NFL earlier than expected. This pain led him to rely on pain medication, and his attempts to stop using those medications resulted in an increased dependence on alcohol. He acknowledged the need to address these issues and make necessary lifestyle changes. Romo was immediately suspended by CBS, where he had joined the network’s top NFL broadcast team after retiring from the Dallas Cowboys following 13 seasons. In his place, CBS elevated former NFL defensive star J.J. Watt to take over Romo’s role in the broadcast booth. CBS Sports president David Berson mentioned last month that there was no set timeline for Romo’s potential return, calling it an "evolving situation." Romo, however, suggested he might return to CBS in the future, stating he was focusing on his health, family, and eventual return to the network. He emphasized that he was working with a team of doctors to address his health and make necessary changes, while expressing gratitude for the support of his family, friends, and the broader NFL community.
