Jimmy Johnson makes Fox NFL Sunday return after missing Week 13 with Rob Gronkowski absent from set
Jimmy Johnson was given a bye and will return to Fox NFL Sunday this weekend.
The broadcast did not feature the Dallas Cowboysicon, 81, in Week 13.
However, Fox has verified that he and his coworkers will return to the set this weekend.
Rob Gronkowski, who filled in over Thanksgiving weekend, will not be contributing to the coverage on Sunday.
It appears that Johnson and Gronkowski have alternated on the Fox NFL Sunday show.
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, they followed suit.

Prior to the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the New York Giants on Thursday, Johnson worked the show.
Additionally, Johnson was given the weekend off, so Gronkowski filled in for the usual FoxNFLS Sunday broadcast.
The show’s transmission from Naval Base San Diego over Veterans Day weekend was one of the few times they were together.
On that show, Terry Bradshaw made a joke about how good it was to watch Johnson and Gronkowski together.
Recently, the former quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers also took aim at Gronkowski.
And once Michael Strahan interrupted, he felt compelled to apologize live on television.

“The guy whose seat you’re sitting in right now, filling for, Jimmy Johnson,” Bradshaw told Gronkowski last month.
However, Strahan protested and defended Gronk.
“He’s not filling in, he’s here all the time,” the legendary player for the New York Giants stated.
In response, Gronkowski said, “Wow, yeah, I’m part of the show Terry.”Bradshaw, a four-time Super Bowl champion, also acknowledged his mistakes.
“Okay, I made a mistake,” Bradshaw said.
The original Tom Brady
Terry Bradshaw’s admission that he had used his identity left Tom Brady speechless.
Brady was made aware of a 1983 newspaper article about a guy named Thomas Brady undergoing surgery by host Curt Menefee.
That was actuallyBradshawwhile he was still in his playing days with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bradshaw won fourSuper Bowlsin his 13-year career under center in Pittsburgh.
The former Steelers quarterback explained, “When I checked in they said ‘you’re not going to get checked in under your name because you’ll get hassled, what do you want to go under?’
“I said, ‘Put me under Thomas Brady.’
“That’s how it happened.”
“All right, I apologize, Gronk, you know I love you.”
