We’re down to the final three weeks of the 2025 NFL regular season, with each bit of news across the league becoming more and more critical. 

Who’s hurt? Who’s practicing? Who’s starting? Who’s on the hot seat?

Here’s the latest on what’s happening around the league entering Week 16: 

Jets fire DC Steve Wilks

Following a 48-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has made a shakeup to his coaching staff for the final few weeks of the regular season. The team has moved on from defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, it announced Monday. 

“I thought it was time to make a change,” Wilks told reporters. “I’m going to make the decision that’s best for this organization at all times.” 

In addition to giving up 48 points to the Jaguars, the Jets allowed 438 in the loss. New York ranks 20th in total defense and 30th in scoring defense following Sunday’s games. It also ranked 30th in defensive DVOA ahead of Week 15. 

Just as noteworthy, the Jets have only forced three turnovers this year and have yet to record an interception.
