ESPN analyst and former NFL head coach Rex Ryan has been charged following an alleged hit-and-run incident involving pedestrians, according to a report from the Detroit News published Wednesday.
The charges stem from an incident in which Ryan allegedly struck pedestrians with a vehicle and left the scene. Details regarding the location, time, and condition of those involved were not immediately disclosed in the initial report.
Ryan, 63, has worked as an NFL analyst for ESPN since 2017 after coaching stints with the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. He led the Jets to consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances in 2009 and 2010.
The Detroit News, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported the development on November 11, 2026. Further details are expected as the legal process unfolds.
