Jason Kelce will not just be on the ESPN panel before the start of his former team’s home debut of the NFL season. He’ll also be entering the broadcast booth for the network’s Monday night show.
The longtime Philadelphia Eagle will sit between Joe Buck and Troy Aikman for the third quarter of the team’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.
The decision to give Kelce more responsibility comes a week after his Monday Night Football debut with the network, where he dropped the word ‘t***’ in his first few sentences in describing his physique.
Kelce being in the broadcast booth was revealed by Aikman himself on social media.
‘Making room for my new teammate and future HOF’er @jasonkelce as he will be joining @joebuck and myself in the 3rd quarter on Monday Night Football tonight on ESPN,’ Aikman posted on X.

Kelce signed a multi-year contract with the network to be a football analyst back in April
Kelce’s first appearance at a stadium with ESPN was loved by his fans and comes after many networks clamored for his services upon his retirement from the NFL.
Kylie Kelce, Jason’s wife, enjoyed seeing her husband on national television in a dress shirt instead of shoulder pads as well.
Over the weekend, she paid tribute to her husband and had to make fun of him as well.
‘Training camp looked a little different this year. Watching you at the Linc on Monday is going to be a little different too. Just know that the girls and I are loving cheering you on in this new chapter!’ Kylie’s post began.
‘… Maybe try not to say t*** this week?’ her post concluded.
Jason commented back to his wife ‘Luckiest man in the world.’
The official page for Jason and Travis Kelce’s podcast, ‘New Heights’, also commented ‘Even if he’s trying not to I feel like there’s never any guarantees.’
