Tony Romo Misses Safeway Open Cut, Will Call Vikings vs. Bears for CBS on Sunday

CBSNFLcolor commentator and ex-Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo missed the cut by six shots at the PGA Tour's Safeway Open on Friday after shooting a four-over 148 on Thursday and Friday.

Romo, who would have missed his scheduled call of Sunday's Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears game if he made the cut, will now be present at Soldier Field alongside play-by-play analyst Jim Nantz. Boomer Esiason was slated to replace him, per Chris Bumbaca of USA Today.

The 39-year-old scratch golfer, who has won back-to-back American Century Celebrity Golf Championships, was in good shape after a fantastic two-under par Thursday at the Silverado Resort and Spa North in Napa, California.
