NBC play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico will not call Sunday Night Football's game in Chicago due to a health issue, the network announced. Tirico, who has been NBC's lead NFL voice since 2018, was scheduled to work the broadcast alongside analyst Cris Collinsworth and sideline reporter Melissa Stark.
The network did not disclose the specific nature of Tirico's health concern. A replacement for the Chicago broadcast has not been publicly named. Tirico has been a staple of NBC's sports coverage, also anchoring Olympic prime-time coverage and other major events for the network.
