Jamie Erdahl away from NFL Network for 'tragic' family health matter

Bring Me The News cannot confirm how long Erdahl has been away from the show, but the last time her name is referenced on the Good Morning Football podcast is Feb. 13.

Erdahl was a multi-sport athlete at Breck School in Minnesota and went on to play college softball and basketball at St. Olaf University, later attending American University, where she got her degree in communications. 

Her first reporting jobs were on the sidelines of Minnesota high school basketball games, which led to a job with New England Sports Network (NESN) as a rinkside reporter for the Boston Bruins, in addition to covering the Boston Red Sox.

CBS Sports hired her in 2014, and in 2018 she was promoted as the top sideline reporter for the SEC Game of the Week, where she was paired with fellow Minnesotan, play-by-play announcer Brad Nessler. She also served as a sideline reporter for the NFL on CBS, in addition to working NCAA basketball games. 

She joined the NFL Network in 2022.

Erdahl's contract with NFL Media isn't public, but her future on Good Morning Football could be in the hands of ESPN, which acquired a massive chunk of NFL Media assets last August. According to Front Office Sports, ESPN absorbed all NFL Media talent contracts, meaning their fate going forward is up to ESPN.

Front Office Sports cited a source who said, “A lot of people who have their contracts expiring this spring or summer—on-air people, reporters and anchors—are very worried about what their future will look like."
