It's Prime time for "Thursday Night Football."
Amazon's talent group for its 2022 "TNF" broadcasts is starting to solidify, with a seeming hodgepodge of former NFL talent taking over this year's slate of games.
In June, Charissa Thompson was reported to be the studio host for the pre- and post-game coverage for the streaming service, while others, including former running back Marshawn Lynch, are expected to play a role on the network, as well.

This offseason has been big for free agent movement, but also broadcast movement, as well: Joe Buck and Troy Aikman make the jump from Fox to ESPN to tackle "Monday Night Football," while Drew Brees is officially out at NBC. Tom Brady is set to join Fox (eventually), while the Kevin Burkhardt is the network's new No. 1 play-by-play man.
Here's what we know about the total package for Amazon Prime:
Who are Amazon Prime's NFL broadcasters?
Broadcasters
As it stands, Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit will be be the play-by-play and color commentators, respectively for "TNF" broadcasts. Amazon chased Troy Aikman for its color commentator role, but ultimately settled for Herbstreit, instead.
Michaels was target 1A for the streaming service from the jump, with the long-time voice of primetime football reportedly getting "Joe Buck money" for signing on with the network.
No sideline reporter has been announced yet, but the New York Post reports Kaylee Hartung may be jumping back into the sports sphere after working as a correspondent for ABC News. Hartung also worked for SEC Network.
Studio
The pregame, postgame and halftime is rumored to be comprised of an interesting mix of former players, and the network is also planning to have alternative broadcast.
— Charissa Thompson is reportedly set to host all three segments of their gameday programming. Thompson is expected to continue in her role with Fox Sports, as well. Amazon had previously chased Kay Adams, formerly of NFL Network's "Good Morning Football," but negotiations with Thompson are in their final stages, per the New York Post's Andrew Marchand.
— Tony Gonzalez is also reportedly set to join the group. The Hall of Fame tight end took a year away from broadcasting to focus on other endeavors. He was previously with Fox Sports.
— Richard Sherman officially announced that he's joining Amazon's coverage on June 14. Sherman is expected to join the pregame, postgame and halftime coverage alongside Gonzalez and Thompson. Sherman also kept the door open for a potential return to the field, should a team come calling.
— Ryan Fitzpatrick is another name that could be involved in some capacity. Fitzpatrick recently retired from football after a lengthy career as both a starter and backup passer.
— Marshawn Lynch is also expected to join Amazon's coverage in some form. Reports indicate that Lynch would potentially be a host on an alternative broadcast of "TNF" coverage, akin to "ManningCast."
— Pat McAfee, former punter and current podcast host, wrestler and wrestling broadcaster, was also being targeted for an alternative broadcast similar to "ManningCast," reports say. It's unclear how McAfee would fit the broadcast into his weekly schedule.
