Sports television host and reporter Jamie Erdahl opens up about her absence from NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”
In a social media post Thursday, Erdahl said his hiatus from discussing the latest NFL news each weekday morning was due to what he described as a “tragic health situation” involving a family member.
“Since curiosity is rising, I’ll share what I’m comfortable with: I’ve been away from @GMFB due to an extremely personal and tragic health situation of an immediate family member,” Erdahl wrote on X.

Erdahl added that he will return to the airwaves.
“I want to thank my leaders in the NFL for allowing me this time at home. I will return Monday.”

Kyle Brandt and former NFL player Manti Teʻo co-host the network’s morning show with Erdahl. NFL Network reporter Sherree Burruss also contributes to the show and acts as a fill-in host when Erdahl or others are absent.
Erdahl joined “Good Morning Football” in 2022 and was named co-host in 2024 after the show moved from its New York studio to the network’s headquarters in Los Angeles.

Erdahl has praised the programme’s relaxed tone, contrasting it with what he described as the often “angry” and overly technical style of some sports television.
“Some sports television can get very angry and technical. Sometimes they can be too restrained, and we are essentially opposed to all of those things,” Erdahl told Deadline in 2022.
“We like the messy parts of television. We like it when people come into our studio. We like the imperfections and I hope we’re allowed to stay that way.”
