Former NFL head coach John Fox joining Bills as senior assistant

By The Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Former NFL head coach John Fox has joined the Buffalo Bills’ staff as a senior assistant coach, the team announced Friday.

The 71-year-old Fox will be the most experienced member of first-year head coach Joe Brady’s staff in Buffalo. Fox served 16 seasons as a head coach with the Carolina Panthers (2002-10), Denver Broncos (2011-14) and Chicago Bears (2015-17). He reached the Super Bowl with Carolina in 2003 and with Denver in 2013.

Having been an assistant coach in the NFL for 17 seasons before becoming a head coach, Fox most recently worked as a senior assistant with the Detroit Lions in 2023, and in the same role with the Indianapolis Colts the previous season.

Brady, 36, who was promoted from offensive coordinator last month following the firing of Sean McDermott after nine seasons, also announced the addition of eight assistants to work under defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael and special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers.

The staff hires are: Terrance Jamison (defensive line), John Egorugwu (inside linebackers), Bobby April III (outside linebackers), Jay Valai (cornerbacks), Craig Robertson (defensive quality control), Pat Meyer (offensive line), Bo Hardegree (quarterbacks) and Drew Terrell (wide receivers).

Eleven assistants have been retained from McDermott’s staff.

NFL receiver Rondale Moore found dead in his Indiana hometown

By The Associated Press
NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) — Rondale Moore, an NFL receiver who had season-ending training camp knee injuries in each of the last two years after a standout college career at Purdue and a promising start with the Arizona Cardinals, was found dead Saturday, authorities said. He was 25. Police said Moore died of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound. Moore was found dead in the garage of a property in his hometown of New Albany, police chief Todd Bailey said. The death remains under investigation. Floyd County Coroner Matthew Tomlin also confirmed Moore’s death. He said an autopsy would be conducted on Sunday. After being traded to the Atlanta Falcons in 2024, Moore dislocated his right knee during training camp and never played for them. He signed with the Minnesota Vikings in 2025, but he blew out his left knee while returning a punt in their first exhibition game and spent another full season on injured reserve. Moore was so distraught after immediately realizing the seriousness of that injury that he slammed his hand down on a cart so hard the sound was audible throughout the stadium.
