Former Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib was hired by Amazon this offseason, joining their Thursday Night Football broadcast team as a studio analyst. However, with the season approaching, Talib is stepping away from that role.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Talib is stepping aside from his broadcasting duties after his brother, Yusuf Talib, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder stemming from a shooting at a youth football game. Yusuf allegedly shot and killed a coach after a brawl broke out at Lancaster Community Park in Lancaster, Texas. The incident occurred on Aug. 13.
