Kyle Long grew up around NFL morning shows.
Now he’s co-hosting one on CBS.
The former Bears offensive lineman was named one of the two new hosts of “The NFL Today” on Thursday, joining the newly retired Russell Wilson on the hourlong show that precedes CBS’ noon game. The addition of Long, whose father Howie is a staple on the Fox pregame show, was announced on “CBS Mornings.”
“It’s been my dream to work in this industry since visiting my dad in studio in 1994,” Long said in a statement. “From the moment I realized I wouldn’t play in the league forever, I’ve had my compass set for this job.”
Howie Long has hosted “Fox NFL Sunday” since its inception in 1994.
Kyle Long, who has worked across CBS Sports platforms since 2020, made occasional appearances on “The NFL Today” last year. Once former quarterback Matt Ryan was named the Falcons’ president of football, Long and quarterback Kirk Cousins worked playoff games in his place. Long also worked a Week 18 game in the booth.
This year, he’ll join Wilson as well as James Brown, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher, who are returning to the “The NFL Today.”
A first-round pick of the Bears in 2013, Long made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons, playing both guard and tackle. He spent seven years with the Bears and played briefly with the Chiefs before retiring.
