FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


Holly Sonders will make her debut as an NFL sideline reporter for Fox on Sunday, reporting from the field in the 1 p.m. contest between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans. She'll work with play-by-play man Kenny Albert and color commentator and former Dallas Cowboy Daryl Johnston.

Sonders signed with Fox at the end of 2014 after she was unable to reach a contract extension with Golf Channel. In 2015, Sonders had varied roles in Fox's first-year coverage of USGA events, ranging from on-site host, pre- and post-game show anchor and post-round interviewer. NFL duties were also included in the contract.

Before her time with Golf Channel as a co-host of "Morning Drive," the 28-year-old previously worked as a sports reporter in Ohio and Arkansas, as well as a sideline reporter for Big Ten Network.
