Former Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan is scheduled to remain on ESPN’s NFL coverage following his arrest in Nashville. A network spokesperson said Ryan would appear as planned, including on *Sunday NFL Countdown*.
Ryan was arrested Wednesday on six outstanding misdemeanor charges. Police allege that on Tuesday, he struck two pedestrians who were crossing Broadway with a walk signal while he was turning from 4th Avenue. Officers said his pickup ran over their feet and made contact with one pedestrian’s leg. The pedestrians reportedly caught up with Ryan at a stoplight, where he got out, argued with them, then returned to his vehicle and drove away.
Ryan faces two counts each of leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or render aid, and failing to obey a traffic-control signal.
Ryan coached the Bills in 2015 and 2016, recording a 15–16 record over two seasons. He has not coached in the NFL since. NFL Week 10 continues Sunday, with Buffalo traveling to play the New York Jets.
