Former NFL coach and ESPN analyst Rex Ryan turned himself in to Nashville police on Wednesday. On the night of November 5, 2026, Ryan was in his pickup truck in downtown Nashville at the intersection of Broadway and 4th Avenue.

What was supposed ot be a normal night quickly turned chaotic. Furthermore, as he made a right turn, his truck ran over the feet of two pedestrians who were crossing the street with a walk signal. Furthermore, he also made contact with one person’s leg.

Luckily, nobody was seriously injured. Instead of stopping immediately, Ryan continued to a stoplight where he was flagged down. Ryan stepped out of his truck, argued with them, got back in, and drove away. Pictures taken by pedestrians of him and his license would allow law enforcement to track him down.

Pictures weren’t the only thing they have.

Rex Ryan surrendered to Nashville police on six misdemeanor charges. That includes leaving the scene of an accident, following an alleged hit-and-run incident involving two pedestrians.

After the collision, Rex Ryan allegedly drove off, stopped at a traffic light, exited his vehicle to argue with the victims, and then drove away again.

According to TMZ, everything that happened was caught on video, “thanks to the two quick-thinking people he allegedly hit.”

This appears to be an open-and-shut case now. Ryan has since hired a defense lawyer as he faces six charges that could put him behind bars for a long time.

ESPN released a brief nine-word statement saying: “We are aware and are in touch with Rex.” Network sources noted that no decision on potential disciplinary action or his status on programs like Sunday NFL Countdown has been made yet.
