Terry Bradshaw recently addressed fans after missing the “Fox NFL Sunday” show in Week 11 due to a cold. The 77-year-old Fox Sports NFL analyst reassured everyone that he is feeling okay following his absence, which stirred buzz online.
“Just in case you notice, won’t be on Fox today. Just have a cold. All good,” Bradshaw wrote in an Instagram post.
Curt Menefee, the host of the show, explained that Bradshaw was unwell and left work early.
“You may notice there is Howie Long [and] Michael Strahan [and that] Terry Bradshaw is not with us,” Menefee said as the trio began the show at noon ET. “He came to work sick this morning. So he decided to go home not feeling well. We send him our love.”
Long and Strahan also chimed in with their well wishes.
“We miss ya, man!” Long said.
“We sent him home,” Strahan said, laughing. “Let that be known.”
Menefee further elaborated on Bradshaw’s health, noting the Pro Football Hall of Famer and four-time Super Bowl winner has been open about his past medical challenges.
Bradshaw beat bladder cancer and a rare Merkel cell skin cancer in his neck in 2021 and 2022. He also missed Fox’s NFC Championship coverage in January 2024 after Menefee announced he was “a little under the weather.”
Known for his candid personality and memorable on-air moments, Bradshaw has been a staple on the “Fox NFL Sunday” show since its inception in 1994.
In other show news, four-time Super Bowl champion tight end Rob Gronkowski, who retired a Patriot this week, has replaced longtime analyst and former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson on the pregame show this season.
