NBC play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico will miss the Week 9 "Sunday Night Football" broadcast between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears due to a health issue, the network announced Sunday.

Noah Eagle will replace Tirico on play-by-play duties alongside analyst Cris Collinsworth and reporter Melissa Stark for the prime-time matchup.

The game is scheduled for Sunday night as part of the NFL's regular season schedule. Tirico has been NBC's lead play-by-play voice for Sunday Night Football since 2016.
