ESPN's Laura Rutledge and the "Monday Night Football" crew were in the nation's capital this evening to cover a preseason showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Commanders. It didn't take long for fans to compliment her performance and appearance.

ESPN has announced that there will be no more overlapping double-header 'Monday Night Football' games from this upcoming season.

NFL sideline reporter Laura Rutledge is getting an increased role on ESPN after the network announced a sideline shakeup.

The move sets up the on-air talent roster for what will be ESPN's most important live broadcast ever: Super Bowl LXI in February 2027.

Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge won't be the only sideline reporters featured on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" this season. It was revealed Tuesday that ESPN reporter Katie George will be part of the "Monday Night Football" crew for five games this season.

Rich Eisen is returning to host "SportsCenter" for the first time in over 20 years Monday. He'll serve as an anchor for the program, and be joined by NFL analyst Mina Kimes in studio. It will mark the first time since 2003 that Eisen has appeared on the program.

With the 2025 Monday Night Football season on the horizon, ESPN has extended Salters, elevated Laura Rutledge’s sideline reporting role and added both Katie George and Peter Schrager to its game coverage, resulting in two sideline reporters for all 25 NFL on ESPN games.

August 12 - ESPN is adding a second voice to its "Monday Night Football" broadcast teams for the 2025 season. The network said Tuesday that longtime NFL studio host and reporter Laura Rutledge will join Lisa Salters on the sidelines for all 20 games that feature Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth.
