Rex Ryan will appear as scheduled on ESPN’s Sunday morning pregame show following his arrest in Nashville last week on multiple misdemeanor charges, according to ESPN.
Metro Nashville Police said the former NFL coach surrendered at Nashville’s Downtown Detention Center on Wednesday. Warrants stemmed from an incident shortly before midnight.
Investigators said two pedestrians were crossing Broadway from 4th Avenue with a walk signal when Ryan made a right turn in his pickup truck. He ran over both victims’ feet. He also made contact with one person’s legs.
“He decided he wanted to turn and didn’t care and just ran over both of my feet, my wife’s foot and got her leg too,” said Michael Holland, one of the victims.
The vehicle kept moving. It stopped at a red light at Broadway and Representative John Lewis Way, where the pedestrians managed to wave down the driver, police reported.

Ryan stepped out of the truck to argue with the couple before driving away, according to the police report.
Court records show that Ryan faces six misdemeanor counts.
The charges are two counts of leaving the scene of an accident. They include two counts of failure to give information or render aid and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $6,000. He qualified for pretrial release on non-financial conditions.
“We are aware and are in touch with Rex,” ESPN said in a statement released on Wednesday.
Ryan’s attorney, David Raybin, told WSMV4 that they are cooperating with the investigation and reviewing the case and facts.
The legal proceedings will continue in Davidson County General Sessions Court.
Ryan is scheduled to make his first court appearance in the case on December 18.
