NBC Sports play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico will not call Sunday's Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears game due to a health issue, according to a report from Touchdown Wire. The network has not disclosed the specific nature of the health concern.

Tirico, a veteran broadcaster with decades of experience covering NFL, Olympics, and other major sporting events, was scheduled to be on the call for the Week 10 matchup. His absence marks a notable change for the broadcast team.

No immediate replacement has been announced. The Buccaneers and Bears are set to kick off at Soldier Field in Chicago.
