The NFL Network's game-day broadcast team will look considerably different this season, as a sexual harassment scandal will result in the departure of Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk and two other analysts.
Faulk, Heath Evans and Ike Taylor all were suspended last year after a female employee claimed they were among five people at the network who groped and harassed her.
The three former players aren’t expected to return to their jobs at NFL Network once the regular season commences, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The person requested anonymity because the terms of their release have not been finalized.
Faulk was a seven-time Pro Bowler with the Indianapolis Colts and St. Louis Rams. He was MVP in 2000 and ranks 11th on the all-time rushing list.
He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011. He was hired by NFL Network in 2015.
