Former Cowboys QB Tony Romo arrested. See his career in photos - USA Today

What the report says

USA Today reported in a photo-gallery item updated July 25, 2026, that former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo had been arrested in Wisconsin on an OWI matter. The supplied article does not include details such as the arresting agency, location within Wisconsin, court status or the circumstances of the stop. An arrest is not a finding of guilt, and no outcome was provided in the material reviewed.

The USA Today piece used the arrest as the news peg for a retrospective on Romo’s public career. Its captions trace his rise from an undrafted player to a prominent Cowboys quarterback, with images from early appearances in 2004 and 2005, games against NFC East rivals, playoff moments, Pro Bowl participation and later years when injuries limited him. The gallery also shows his overlap with teammates and figures such as Jason Witten, Terrell Owens, Dez Bryant, Dak Prescott and head coach Jason Garrett.

Romo remains a notable figure because of both his NFL profile and his post-playing visibility. The material points to his shift into broadcasting, including a 2017 CBS Upfront appearance with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson, and to his celebrity-adjacent golf appearances with figures including Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods. For readers, the development matters because it involves a widely recognized former NFL player and current media personality, but the available USA Today text offers only limited information about the Wisconsin OWI arrest itself.
