Giants | Dennard Wilson being hired as DC Sun Jan 25, 04:28 PM
Former Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson is being hired by the New York Giants as their new defensive coordinator.
| Footballguys view: Wilson was the defensive backs coach under John Harbaugh in 2023 before being hired by the Titans. He was actually the Giants top target for the defensive coordinator position in 2024 after Wink Martindale retired, but he chose the Titans instead. The Titans defense was outstanding in Wilson's first year, ranking second in total yardage and fourth in passing yardage. |

Dolphins | Tyke Tolbert added to coaching staff Sun Jan 25, 02:43 PM
Tennessee Titans wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert has been hired by the Miami Dolphins as their new wide receiver coach, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Tolbert will join Bobby Slowik's staff and bring decades of experience serving under the 38-year-old offensive coordinator. Tolbert has a ring from his time with the Denver Broncos when he was on Gary Kubiak's staff. Slowik is a disciple of Kyle Shanahan, and Kubiak a disciple of Kyle's father Mike, so there should be a bridge between the two coaches. |

Patriots | Mack Hollins activated from IR Sat Jan 24, 04:04 PM
New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday, Jan. 24, ahead of the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: Hollins was one of the Patriots' top receivers during the regular season. He was third on the team in receptions (46), adding two receiving touchdowns. Hollins' blocking ability has also been key to the Patriots' success on offense this season. As the Boston Globe noted, with his 6-4 frame, Hollins has allowed the Patriots to play with advantageous personnel packages on run downs. While the Patriots haven't necessarily needed Hollins so far in the playoffs, his return is certainly welcomed news, as Drake Maye hasn't been as prolific throwing the ball this postseason. |
