Rex Ryan returns to ESPN for NFL analysis same week he was arrested in hit-and-run driving incident

Rex Ryan returned to ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” to discuss the NFL’s Week 10 games, days after his arrest over an alleged hit-and-run in Nashville. He did not address the incident on air, and ESPN did not publicly explain its decision to include him; a network source said it had considered available information and could reconsider if new details emerge.

Ryan, 63, surrendered to police and faces six misdemeanour charges related to the incident on 5 November. Police say two pedestrians suffered minor injuries when Ryan’s vehicle struck them as they crossed with a walk signal; the charges include leaving the scene, failing to provide information or aid, and failing to obey a traffic signal. One pedestrian alleged that Ryan drove away after running over their feet and his wife’s foot and leg; those are allegations, and the case remains active.
