Longtime NFL sideline reporter Sara Walsh will be on the call of Thursday afternoon’s Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys game.
The former ESPN host turned NFL Network reporter, who will be calling the game for Netflix, will be at less than 100 percent for this one. She suffered a pretty gruesome injury before kickoff. Walsh joked that she had to be carted off of the field on Christmas Eve.

Hopefully, it’s not as painful as it looks, because that looks extremely painful. Walsh will be fighting through the pain on Christmas Day.
