With CBS placing No. 1 NFL analyst Tony Romo on leave following a recent arrest for suspicion of operating while intoxicated, his spot needs to be filled.
CBS has announced that it will be filled by J.J. Watt.
The move will result in further adjustments to the full roster. The slate was already going to change, given that Jason McCourty signed an exclusive deal with ESPN and exited his role as a game analyst at CBS.
Watt, a three-time NFL defensive player of the year, normally serves on the No. 2 team at CBS, with Ian Eagles. Watt will work with Jim Nantz until Romo's leave of absence ends.
It's unclear when that will happen. Per CBS, Romo will be on leave "until further notice."
