ERIN Andrews dropped a hint over a shock return to set for a Fox NFL Sunday icon.
Andrews, 47, was spotted at an event with Fox colleagues past and present.

The sideline reporter is part of Fox’s top NFL team and getting ready for the 2025 season.
She was seen at an event with Charissa Thompson, Jimmy Johnson and Michael Strahan.
Andrews wrote, “Love our family NFL on Fox.”
Johnson, 82, retired from his broadcast career after the Super Bowl.
He was part of the Fox team that helped deliver a record audience for the game.
More than 127 million people tuned in to watch the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Fox faced uncertainty over the likes of Johnson and Terry Bradshaw.
Johnson confirmed he was calling it a day while Bradshaw, 76, insists he wants to continue until he’s 80.
Andrews and Thompson have also faced uncertainty over their future with the network.
But their contract situations are apparently resolved and they’re both set to feature on Fox this fall.
Johnson could yet make a return to set in some capacity.
He is unlikely to be a regular broadcaster for Fox again.
But the former Dallas Cowboys coach may be a special guest on some episodes.
His former Fox colleague Julian Edelman spoke to The US Sun at Fanatics Fest in New York.
He said, “I love Jimmy… What an unbelievable career.”
“It’s crazy. He’s such a pivotal part of that show, and I learned so much from him. Jimmy’s the best.
“I’m sure he’ll be back in some capacity. He’s got to do a couple of bits.”
A replacement has not yet been confirmed, but Rob Gronkowski is set for a larger role.
He featured on some Fox NFL Sunday shows last year when Johnson was off.
Fox’s first NFL broadcast of the 2025 season will be on Sunday 7 September.
