Jerry Jones supports Tony Romo following OWI arrest and suspension

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed confidence in Tony Romo's ability to overcome adversity after Romo was placed on leave by CBS Sports. This decision followed Romo's arrest for driving under the influence in Milwaukee on July 23, where he was cited for having an open container of alcohol and refusing a breath test. In an interview, Jones praised Romo's character and resilience, highlighting Romo's past successes from undrafted free agent to franchise record-holder. J.J. Watt has been named to replace Romo in CBS's top broadcast booth, while Romo's future with the network remains uncertain pending a court date on September 21.
