It looks like Aqib Talib won’t be set to join Amazon’s broadcast crew for Thursday Night Football this upcoming season.
On Sunday, NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport spoke with the former NFL cornerback and he stated he would be stepping aside from his future duties to spend time with his family.
Earlier this month, his brother allegedly shot and killed an opposing coach during a youth football game.
Witnesses claim Aqib Talib ran across the field and confronted referees. The game was reportedly called off because of the constant complaining and threats. Once that happened, Aqib reportedly swung at Coach Mike Hickmon and the two began fighting.
Police said Aqib’s brother, Yaqub Talib shot and killed Hickmon as children watched.
Yaqub surrendered to police and is now charged with murder.
