NFL fans were worried about former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman after his eyelids appeared to be bleeding during his appearance on ‘Monday Night Football’ this week.
Aikman was in the ‘MNF’ booth with partner Joe Buck as he typically is on a Monday night, with the popular commentators calling the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Los Angeles Chargers.
Fans would notice that Aikman’s eyelids looked somewhat strange as they seemed to have a bit of blood over them.
“I can’t understand anything Troy Aikman is saying because I can’t stop staring at his eyelids, which appear to be bleeding. MNF,” a viewer wrote, posting a photo of the 58-year-old that indeed showed his eyelids looking bloody.

“I think I saw blood as well. Hope he’s ok,” someone commented.
Several other accounts posted about the concerning appearance.
“Anybody else notice the bruising on Troy aikman’s eyes and eyelids? #MNF #troyaikman,”
“Aikman has a cut above his right eye and that concerns me,”
“What’s going on with Troy Aikman’s eyelids?”
Aikman’s eyelids likely weren’t bleeding, although they certainly looked like it. The former QB did not seem uncomfortable or bothered during the presentation, which suggests he was okay.
This could have resulted from a makeup malfunction, which can happen occasionally.
The ‘MNF’ announcer isn’t expected to address the concerns either.
