Lee Corso will be absent from “College GameDay” this week for the third time in 2022, prompting concern for viewers.

ESPN announced Friday that the 87-year-old Corso would not travel to Jackson for Saturday’s broadcast, citing a health issue. The network said Corso is in good spirits and hopes to rejoin the show soon.

Host Rece Davis provided a further update, saying Corso is dealing with “a few little health issues” that have already been taken care of.

“LC is dealing with a few little health issues. They’re taken care of from what I’ve told, and we’re looking forward to having him back on that set with us and putting on those headgears in no time,” Davis said. “Send out your best wishes to LC, but he’s in great spirits and we’re looking forward to having him back soon.”

Corso’s health has been a source of concern for “GameDay” viewers over the last month. He missed two straight weeks at the start of October with an unspecified health issue, and it is unclear if it is related to what he is dealing with currently. Corso had returned to the broadcast for each of the last two weeks, which saw the crew travel to Tennessee and Oregon.
