Lisa Salters is one of the usual members of ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” broadcast crew, but she was not present for the network’s telecast of the Week 6 game between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
Salters was absent due to what Joe Buck said was a personal matter.
“Lisa Salters is attending to a personal matter. We look forward to her return. And all of us sending our very best to Lisa and her family,” Buck said.
