Russell Yurk joins ESPN Monday Night Football as a rules analyst; replaces John Parry

Former NFL replay VP Russell Yurk will join ESPN’s Monday Night Football as a rules analyst for the 2024 season.

He replaces John Parry, who joins the Bills as an officiating specialist.

Yurk joined the NFL in 2010 working as a replay assistant for five seasons, a replay official for one year, and served as VP of replay in 2017.

After taking a leave of absence in 2021, he joined the Big Ten to supervise their replay operations in 2023.

Parry still had a year remaining on his ESPN contract, but leaves the network on good terms.
