Joe Buck is a very happy man on Tuesday morning. ESPN's "Monday Night Football" has added to its broadcasting crew for 2025. The Worldwide Leader in Sports has added three new sideline reporters to its broadcasting team for the 2025 season.

Laura Rutledge will join ESPN's main Monday Night Football crew to work alongside Lisa Salters as a sideline reporter for 20 games during the 2025 season, the network announced on Tuesday.
