Sideline Sabbaticals
Dick Vermeil returns to the NFL coaching ranks after a 14-year sabbatical, the third-longest interval between full-time head coaching stints in league history. Only 15 players were active last season who were in the league when Vermeil last roamed the sidelines, but none played for him on his old team, the Philadelphia Eagles.
