According to Adam Schefter, Broncos QB Bo Nix is looking at a 12-week recovery timeline for his fractured ankle.

Schefter says Nix is expected to be largely recovered in time for OTAs but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Broncos exercise a lot of caution.
He also points out this is the third time Nix has broken his...

Jets OC Tanner Engstrand remains a part of the coaching staff after HC Aaron Glenn‘s purge last week. However, his role is expected to change in 2026, according to Aaron Wilson.
Connor Hughes elaborates that, while nothing is finalized, Engstrand has expressed to people that he doesn’t expect to be calling the plays in 2026.
Hughes says the Jets would have to go through a whole search, including satisfying the Rooney Rule, to hire a new offensive coordinator. They could hire a senior consultant and give him play-calling duties, however.
Former Panthers and Colts HC Frank Reich is a candidate...

Well, it looks like Matt LaFleur won’t be waiting for Jim Leonhard after all. On Sunday morning, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Green Bay Packers will be hiring Jonathan Gannon, the former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, as their next defensive coordinator.

As far as we know, the interviewed candidates for the Packers’ job were...

The Arizona Cardinals fired Jonathan Gannon less than three weeks ago.

The former Arizona Cardinals head coach will now be the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers
Gannon was the Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator for two years before coming over as the Cardinals head coach.
In his time in Arizona he did not call the defense, but it is hard to separate the head coach, especially one with a defensive background from the fact the team was bad, to average to miserable defensively in his time.

The Pittsburgh Steelers broke tradition by hiring Mike McCarthy as their next head coach. Pittsburgh had been hiring young coaches, when they brought in Mike Tomlin and Bill Cowher years ago. McCarthy is a veteran head coach, with lots of experience who also has ties to the city of Pittsburgh.
While Steelers fans offered some mixed reviews to the hire, one NFL insider is making it clear they are not impressed.
“I thought the team would chart a new course with an assertive young coach they could build something with,” an industry source said Saturday to ESPN. “McCarthy’s a good...
