One Miami Dolphins coach currently finds himself behind bars.

Outside linebackers coach Ryan Crow, 37, was arrested Friday on a domestic violence charge, according to Broward County jail records.

Details surrounding the incident weren’t immediately clear. Fort Lauderdale police conducted Crow’s arrest.

The Dolphins have since placed Crow on administrative leave.

“We are aware of the serious matter involving Ryan Crow and currently gathering more information,” the Dolphins said in a statement. “Ryan has been placed on administrative leave effective immediately. We have been in communication with the NFL and will reserve further comment at this time.”

Crow joined the Dolphins in 2024 after he spent the previous five seasons with the Tennessee Titans.

The arrest comes a little more than a week before the start of the Dolphins’ regular season, which kicks off next Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Crow coaches arguably the deepest unit on the team that includes edge rushers Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, Chop Robinson and even the newly signed Matthew Judon.
