Michael Strahan suffered an injury during a special teams demonstration on set alongside the Fox NFL broadcasting team: Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Jay Glazer, Terry Bradshaw.
As TalkSport reports, Former New England Patriots wide receiver Edelman, attempted a field goal but misfired directly into Strahan’s face.
With Glazer acting the role of the guard, and Gronkowski acting as the blocker, a sock-less Edelman kicked the football so tamely that it lacked flight.
Strahan clutched his face as Terry Bradshaw ran away towards the imaginary endzone with the ball.
The Fox NFL Sunday studio erupted in a mix of laughter and concern for Strahan, but his fellow hosts mercilessly ripped into him.
Gronkowski joked, “Mission accomplished.”
“How about a concussion protocol?” Glazer laughed.
“Did you lose a tooth?” Gronkowski asked, starting to show a little worry.
Strahan replied, “I’m about to lose an eyeball, for real, man.”
