Overview

• Julian Edelman’s kick during a studio special-teams demonstration struck Michael Strahan in the face as the crew simulated a blocked field goal.
• Strahan held his eye and joked he was “about to lose an eyeball” before returning to the set, with colleagues mixing laughter and concern.
• Rob Gronkowski and Jay Glazer ribbed Strahan on air, then later David Ortiz checked on him, prompting Strahan to say he was “sucking it up for the team.”
• The segment featured Fox NFL Sunday regulars including Strahan, Edelman, Gronkowski, Howie Long, Jay Glazer, Terry Bradshaw and host Curt Menefee.
• Separately, viewers criticized the show’s brief statements about Mark Sanchez as new details confirmed charges of battery with injury, public intoxication and unlawful entry, a $300 bond, and an initial hearing Tuesday morning.
