The Detroit Lions are parting ways with quarterbacks coach Brian Callahan. This comes as a surprise, as he is very well-regarded among coaches.

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (back) said the three transverse process fractures he suffered in his back in Week 4 against the Broncos affected him throughout the season.

The New York Jets are expected to promote quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates to the offensive coordinator position, according to league sources.
