Report: Giants hire Brian Callahan as QBs coach
Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan exits the field after the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025. Former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan is being added to John Harbaugh’s coaching staff as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for the New York Giants, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Callahan, 41, was fired by the Titans last October after a 1-5 start. Tennessee posted a 4-19 record under Callahan, who was hired by the Titans after five seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator that included a three-point loss in Super Bowl LVI.
ESPN reported Callahan also interviewed with the Giants for the offensive coordinator position, which ultimately went to Matt Nagy. The latter was a former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and head coach of the Chicago Bears.
Callahan, who will be coaching former first-round pick Jaxson Dart in his second season in the league, has extensive experience developing quarterbacks. He was the offensive coordinator for four seasons for Joe Burrow with the Bengals, was the quarterbacks coach in 2018 for Derek Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders and for two seasons for Matthew Stafford with the Detroit Lions.
In addition to Dart, Callahan will be working with veteran quarterback Jameis Winston.
Callahan and Nagy are part of an offensive staff that also includes former Rice University head coach Mike Bloomgren as offensive line coach and former offensive coordinators Greg Roman as senior offensive assistant and Tim Kelly as tight ends coach.

Report: D-backs' Corbin Carroll (hamate bone) to miss WBC
Arizona Diamondbacks base runner Corbin Carroll (7) slides back in safely to first base against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field in Phoenix, on Sept. 24, 2025. Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is expected to miss significant time this spring after breaking his right hamate bone during a live batting practice session, MLB.com reported on Wednesday.
An exact timetable for Carroll’s recovery was not immediately known.
Carroll, 25, is reportedly scheduled to undergo surgery on Wednesday and will miss the upcoming World Baseball Classic. Team USA’s first game of the 2026 competition is against Brazil in Pool B action on March 6 in Houston.
Carroll batted .259 with a majors-best 17 triples to go along with 31 homers and 84 RBIs last season.
The National League Rookie of the Year in 2023 and two-time All-Star, Carroll is hitting .258 with 82 homers and 248 RBIs in 488 career games with the Diamondbacks, who picked him in the first round of the 2019 MLB Draft.

Pistons' Isaiah Stewart banned 7 games, 3 others punished after brawl
Feb 9, 2026; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (24) and forward Grant Williams (2) hold back Head Coach Charles Lee after his ejection during the second half against the Detroit Pistons at Spectrum Center. Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images Detroit Pistons forward-center Isaiah Stewart was suspended seven games by the NBA on Wednesday for leaving the bench area, aggressively entering an on-court altercation and fighting.
Per the league, the length of Stewart’s suspensions is based, in part, on his repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts. He has now been suspended five times in his six seasons in the league.
The 24-year-old received a two-game ban for an on-court brawl versus the Minnesota Timberwolves last March, two months after his flagrant-2 versus the Indiana Pacers triggered an automatic one-game suspension. He also was banned three games for punching Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks hours before their game in February 2024, and Stewart received a two-game suspension in November 2021 after he had to be restrained following an altercation with Lakers star LeBron James.
Also, Charlotte Hornets forwards Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate received four-game bans for fighting and escalating the altercation, while Pistons All-Star center Jalen Duren was suspended two games for initiating the altercation and fighting.
All four players will begin serving their suspensions on Wednesday night, with the Pistons visiting the Toronto Raptors and the Hornets hosting the Atlanta Hawks.
The incident in question occurred midway through the third quarter on Monday night in Charlotte, resulting in four ejections and a lengthy delay.
Diabate committed a defensive foul on Duren in the lane, prompting the latter to turn and square up the former. When that scrap wound down, another broke out near midcourt as Bridges came off the bench to tangle with Stewart.
All four players were assessed technical fouls and ejected from the game.
