ESPN analyst and former NFL head coach Rex Ryan was in his usual place on the network's "Sunday NFL Countdown" set on Nov. 15, days after he was arrested and charged with six misdemeanors for allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians, according to Metro Nashville Police.
Sitting immediately to host Mike Greenberg's left, Ryan did the three-hour show breaking down the Week 10 slate of games and reacting to the Detroit Lions' victory over the New England Patriots that started the day in Munich, Germany.
Ryan turned himself in Wednesday, Nov. 11, Metro Nashville Police said in a statement obtained by The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. He posted a $6,000 bond and was charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident,
two counts of failure to give information or render aid and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal.
ESPN said in a statement Saturday night the expectation was that Ryan would work normally Sunday. Ryan did not address the incident on air.
"The pedestrians said the vehicle kept going, but stopped for the red light at Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way where they waved down the driver," police said. "They said he stepped out of the truck to argue with them, got back in, and drove away."
Ryan coached the New York Jets from 2009-14 and then the Buffalo Bills for two seasons (2015-16). He's been with ESPN since 2017 and appears on other programming such as "Get Up!"
