Kirk Herbstreit is normally the Thursday Night Football broadcaster. But he may miss tonight’s game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens.

Herbstreit – who is also a College GameDay analyst and college football announcer – has lost his beloved dog. He shared the information on Instagram.

It’s not clear if Herbstreit will take time off from his College GameDay assignment. And his college football announcing assignment on Saturday

“This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know,” Herbstreit said in a post. “We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Ben’s organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life but Ben was 1 on 1. He was smart-loving-gentle-patient-inquisitive-and welcoming to all. Always a big smile and a soft tail wag.

“He and I could communicate..he and I understood each other and had each others backs. He was with me more than anyone at home and traveling with me for work. Such an easy going companion. Hard day-but he will live within all of us forever. God please bless his majestic soul and thank you for putting him in my life for the last 10 years-a true blessing. Love you Ben. 🙏🏼”

When Ben Herbstreit traveled with Kirk to different venues in the NFL and college football, he received his own press credential. And he was even shown on many broadcasts.

Losing a pet is tough. It’s like losing a family member. And it takes a long time to recover from their loss.
