Terry Bradshaw said he missed “Fox NFL Sunday” show due to a cold.
The 77-year-old Fox Sports NFL analyst assured fans that all is “good” after his absence in Week 11 stirred buzz online.
“Just incase you notice, won’t be on Fox today. Just have a cold. All good,” Bradshaw wrote in an Instagram post.
Curt Menefee, who is the host of the show, explained that Bradshaw was sick 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 chimed in.
“We miss ya, man!” Long said.
“We sent him home,” Strahan said, laughing. “Let that be known.”
Menefee did elaborate further on the legendary Steelers quarterback.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer and four-time Super Bowl winner has been open about his health.
Bradshaw beat bladder cancer and a rare Merkel cell skin cancer in his neck in 2021 and 2022.
He missed Fox’s NFC Championship coverage in January 2024 after Menefee announced he was “a little under the weather.”
Bradshaw, who’s made headlines for on-air blunders and viral moments, has been a part of the “Fox NFL Sunday” show since it began in 1994.
Four-time Super Bowl champion tight end Rob Gronkowski, who retired a Patriot this week, replaced longtime analyst and former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson on the pregame show this season.
