Jerry Jones says Tony Romo has spent his whole life getting back up after taking hits … and he’s confident the former Cowboys QB will do it again following his OWI arrest.
The Cowboys owner said in an interview with KDFW FOX 4 he’s been talking with Romo and remains firmly in his corner … praising his character, family, and ability to handle adversity.

“Do you think Tony Romo knows how to get up when he gets knocked down?” Jones said … before adding, “Absolutely, that’s one of his greatest attributes … this is something that he will work through.”
Jones also raved about Romo’s football IQ and broadcasting chops … recalling how the ex-quarterback could instantly spot 12 defenders on the field — one more than allowed — during practice.
As we reported, Romo was arrested in Wisconsin on July 23 after cops pulled him over for a traffic violation and suspected him of driving under the influence.
Body-cam footage obtained by TMZ showed Romo telling an officer he had consumed zero drinks before leaving a golf course and was heading to see his grandparents. He repeatedly asked to call his lawyer before exiting his Jeep … and later struggled through field sobriety tests while citing previous back surgeries.
Romo was cited for refusing an intoxication test — putting him at risk of losing his license for a year — and for allegedly having an open bottle of alcohol inside his vehicle.
CBS Sports later told TMZ Sports Romo was “on leave” until further notice … with J.J. Watt tapped to replace him alongside Jim Nantz.
Romo hasn’t publicly addressed the arrest … but Jerry clearly believes his former QB can engineer another comeback.
