NBC’s Mike Tirico calls the Eagles-Rams game after suffering an Achilles injury last Monday

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — NFL players are done for the season when they suffer an Achilles injury.

In the case of a football announcer, they just keep going.

NBC’s Mike Tirico called Sunday night’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams despite rupturing his left Achilles tendon last Monday.

Tirico — who hasn’t missed an assignment during his career — said after Philadelphia’s 37-20 victory that he missed a step while walking at his house in Michigan.

“When you tear your Achilles, it’s immediate pain and then it’s awkward to get around for a while. Our group was fantastic in trying to set up the stand to be as comfortable as possible, ” said Tirico.

During the third quarter, Tirico could be seen in the broadcast booth with his left foot in a boot and his leg resting on a box.

Coincidentally, Cris Collinsworth mentioned Tirico’s injury after a promo for a medical sitcom airing on NBC.

Tirico used a knee scooter after leaving the booth and when going to the elevator.

While Sunday night’s fight took place in the comfortable surroundings of Southern California, Tirico’s next fight could be more challenging. He has a short week before he calls the Thanksgiving night game between the Miami Dolphins and the Green Bay Packers from chilly Lambeau Field.
