Outside linebackers coach Michael Wilhoite is reportedly set to be rehired by the Broncos. This comes after all charges against him were dismissed on June 8, 2026.
Wilhoite had been arrested in March 2025 on multiple charges, including assault of a police officer. However, these legal proceedings have concluded with dismissals.
A civil lawsuit filed by Denver police officer Jesus Galvan Chavez remains active. The suit alleges Wilhoite punched the officer on February 23, 2005, at Denver International Airport.
Wilhoite initially joined the Broncos' coaching staff in 2023. This followed his termination by the Chargers. His potential return to the Broncos signifies a new chapter after the resolution of his criminal charges.
