Former NFL Coach Nathaniel Hackett Lands New Job
Former NFL coach Nathaniel Hackett has landed a new job on Thursday morning.
Hackett, 45, was formerly the head coach of the Denver Broncos. However, it did not go well for Hackett in Denver. He was the Broncos' head coach for just one season, ultimately getting fired after 15 games.
The one-time NFL head coach went 4-11 with the Broncos. He previously served as an assistant coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Green Bay Packers.
Now, Hackett has officially landed a new job, according to reports out of NFL training camp on Thursday morning.
The former NFL head coach has landed a new analyst gig with the Green Bay Packers. It's a similar role held by Robert Saleh, who worked with Green Bay last season, after he was fired by the New York Jets.
Packers reporter Matt Schneidman first reported the news on Thursday morning.
"Nathaniel Hackett back with the Packers. He has a similar role as Robert Saleh last year, working with the defense and giving an offensive perspective," he reported.
The Packers have high expectations heading into the 2025 NFL season.
Green Bay, led by star quarterback Jordan Love, is hoping to contend at the top of the NFC, along with the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Packers are coming off a strong 2024 season, in which they went 14-3, trailing only the Lions in the NFC.
Green Bay is scheduled to open the 2025 season on Sunday, Sept. 7 against the Detroit Lions.
Kickoff for that game is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. E.T. It'll air on FOX, with Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi on the call.

49ers sign WR Marquez Callaway, QB Carter Bradley
The 49ers announced a number of roster moves on Thursday, including the previously reported additions of running back Ameer Abdullah and wide receiver Andy Isabella.

Key stats shows how dominant and explosive Derrick Henry can be in Ravens rushing attack
The Baltimore Ravens are starting training camp with a high-powered offense featuring top players at key positions. The team had a historic 2024 season, becoming the first in NFL history to achieve both 40 passing and 20 rushing touchdowns, along with 4,000 passing yards and 3,000 rushing yards. Henry played a key role in those rushing yards, nearly eclipsing the 2,000-yard mark. Men lie, but numbers don't, and Gordon McGuinness of Pro Football Focus just revealed an eye-popping stat that demonstrates just how explosive and dominant the future Hall of Fame running back can be. In his first season with the Ravens, Henry rushed for 1,921 yards in 17 regular-season games and scored 16 touchdowns. He also added two scores through the air. Baltimore's success percentage last season, according to Next Gen Stats, was even better when eight or more defenders were near the line of scrimmage (50.9%), compared to a neutral defensive approach (43.4%). Of Henry's 16 rushing touchdowns last season, 14 came against a stacked box. This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Derrick Henry dominates yards after contact statistics

Bills backup offensive lineman Alec Anderson week to week after knee surgery
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills backup offensive lineman Alec Anderson is listed week to week after having surgery for a knee injury, the team announced Thursday. Anderson was hurt during practice on Monday. Though a backup, Anderson played an extensive role last year in being used as a tackle-eligible when Buffalo went to a six-lineman formation. He finished with four starts in 17 games, while also contributing on special teams. He first signed with the Bills in 2022 as an undrafted rookie free agent following four years at UCLA. Second-year safety Cole Bishop did not practice Thursday because of a quadriceps injury sustained in practice on Tuesday. Buffalo also signed defensive end Kameron Cline, who rejoins the Bills after spending much of the previous two seasons on the team's practice squad. Cline filled the roster spot left open after defensive end Hayden Harris was waived because of a hamstring injury. ___ AP NFL: The Associated Press
