ESPN's McHenry Returning From Suspension This Weekend, Will Keep Same NFL Role

Recently suspended ESPN reporter Britt McHenry this weekend "will be back on camera," and will have a "full set of assignments heading forward," according to Richard Deitsch of SI.com. ESPN Senior Coordinating Producer Seth Markman said that McHenry "will also have the same role for the upcoming NFL season that she had last year." Deitsch noted this means McHenry "will be at NFL games on most weekends, working as a reporter" on the net's behalf. For ESPN’s coverage of the opening round of the NFL Draft, McHenry "will be in St. Louis to report on the Rams." Markman: "We had a conversation where we both talked about that it would take time and it will be hard. She knows that, and especially at the beginning. She realizes she will have to do her job really well and hopefully win back some of the trust of our viewers. We expect that from her, and I expect that from her. She did a great job for us on the NFL last year in some difficult situations and I have seen nothing that doesn’t make me think she will rebound from this. But she knows the first couple of assignments out of the box will not be easy." He added, "I think she has a lot of potential as a reporter. She is young, she’s learning some things, but I really do believe in her" (SI.com, 4/23).
