Ravens Expected to Hire Former Steelers Running Backs Coach Eddie Faulkner
The veteran assistant would join Jesse Minter’s new staff to guide a rushing attack headlined by Derrick Henry.
Overview
- NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday that Baltimore is expected to make Faulkner its running backs coach, with no official team announcement yet.
- Faulkner coached Pittsburgh’s backfield from 2019 to 2025 and served as interim offensive coordinator in 2023 after Matt Canada’s firing.
- Pittsburgh filled its running backs post with Ramon Chinyoung Sr. under new head coach Mike McCarthy, signaling Faulkner’s exit.
- Baltimore’s ground game features Derrick Henry, who logged 1,595 rushing yards last season, with first-year offensive coordinator Declan Doyle installing the offense.
- Faulkner is credited with developing Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, and Kenneth Gainwell, and he would now face the Steelers at least twice each season.
