"Praying Terry has a quick recovery," one fan wrote on social media.

"Just seeing no Terry Bradshaw on Fox pre-game and reading he is sick. Get well soon my brother," said another.

Bradshaw usually gives out the NFC Championship game trophy, so it'll be interesting to see who steps into his shoes.

The NFL legend has opened up about his health problems in the past.

The 75-year-old four-time Super Bowl champ was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2021, which he underwent treatment for.

In 2022, he learned he had developed a form of skin cancer but later that year thankfully revealed he was cancer-free.

“I just want to address it and let you know what’s happened in my life,” Bradshaw said during an episode of Fox NFL Sundays in 2022.

“In November [2021], I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I went to the Yale University Medical Center. Surgery. Treatment. As of today, I am bladder cancer-free. All right? That’s the good news.

“Then in March, feeling good, I had a bad neck," Bradshaw said, pointing to the area.

"I get an MRI. Now we find a tumour in my left neck. And it’s a Merkel cell tumour, which is a rare form of skin cancer. So I had that surgery done at MD Anderson in Houston.

"Folks, I may not look like my old self, but I feel like my old self.

"I'm cancer-free, I'm feeling great. And over time, I'm going to be back to where I normally am."
