After misdemeanor charges were dismissed, the Broncos are "likely" going to bring back their former outside linebackers coach.

Michael Wilhoite might be returning to the Denver Broncos' coaching staff.

Wilhoite, 39, was fired by the Broncos in 2025 after he was arrested for allegedly punching a police officer. All charges against the outside linebackers coach have since been dismissed, but he is still facing a civil lawsuit from the officer involved in the alleged incident.

With the charges dismissed, Denver is "likely" going to bring Wilhoite back on staff, according to a report from Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. However, "no agreement has been finalized yet," according to the Denver Post's Luca Evans.

Broncos insider Mike Klis tweeted Monday that while "[n]othing has been finalized," the criminal situation being resolved has cleared the way for a possible return.

Denver currently has Jeff Schmedding coaching inside linebackers and Isaac Shewmaker coaching outside linebackers. So if Wilhoite does eventually return, it will have to be in a new position.
