Rex Ryan Expected on ESPN After Nashville Arrest

Ryan, 63, is expected to return to his regular ESPN analyst role on November 15, despite his arrest earlier that week. Ryan, who coached both New York's Jets and Buffalo's Bills, turned himself in to Nashville police on November 11 and was released after posting $6,000 bond, jail records show.

Authorities have accused Ryan of leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or assistance, and disobeying a traffic signal. He faces two counts of each offense. The allegations concern a November 5 incident on Broadway, where two pedestrians say his pickup truck struck them as they crossed with a walk signal.

Michael Holland said the truck ran over his and his wife’s feet and left them with injuries. He said they narrowly avoided more serious harm. Ryan has not publicly commented on the charges. ESPN said it was aware of the matter and in contact with him, and a network spokesperson said on November 14 that he remained scheduled for the program.

Ryan coached eight NFL seasons, including six with the Jets, and led the team to playoff appearances in 2009 and 2010. He is due in court in December.
