Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette escaped injury after what authorities say was a minor, three-car crash Tuesday in Jacksonville.
The team said Fournette’s Mercedes-Benz Maybach was rear-ended, but he was able to drive home afterward. The bumper of his car was knocked off. Fournette signed it and gave it to one of the first responders on the scene.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Fournette was not at fault in the crash.
Steelers’ coordinator: Todd Haley’s contract as Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator is up. And head coach Mike Tomlin doesn’t sound as if he’s in a rush to decide whether Haley will be back next season.
Tomlin sidestepped several attempts to endorse Haley’s return Tuesday as the AFC North champions continued to dissect what went wrong in an upset home playoff loss to Jacksonville. Asked if he anticipated any changes to his staff, Tomlin demurred.
“I don’t know where these roads are going to lead,” Tomlin said. “Some contracts are up. Some aren’t. I’m not ready to discuss that.”
Haley just finished his sixth season with the Steelers and has helped design one of the NFL’s most dynamic offenses.
Seahawks’ coordinators: Seattle hired Brian Schottenheimer as its offensive coordinator and is bringing back Ken Norton Jr. to oversee the defense.
The Seahawks officially announced the anticipated hires after reports surfaced over the holiday weekend of agreements with the two. Head coach Kyle Shanahan released a statement Monday that Norton had been offered a coordinator position less than a week after Norton was hired by the 49ers. The Seahawks did not confirm Norton’s hiring until Tuesday.
Norton was the Raiders’ defensive coordinator before getting fired after 10 games last season. He was subsequently hired by the 49ers last week as an assistant head coach before taking the job with Seattle. Norton replaces Kris Richard, who was Seattle’s defensive coordinator for the past three seasons and was selected ahead of Norton for the job in 2015.
Walker in Pro Bowl: Tennessee tight end Delanie Walker has replaced Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce on the AFC roster for the Pro Bowl.
This will be the third straight Pro Bowl appearance for Walker, a former 49er who was an alternate this season. Walker led the Titans with 74 catches and 807 yards receiving, and he also scored three touchdowns.
The 12-year veteran has 5,621 yards receiving for his career.
