   >Broncos assistant head coach Mike Westhoff has stepped down from his role to monitor a potential health issue, NFL Network has learned.
    
   Westhoff, 76, experienced problems related to his vision last week and underwent testing Monday, including an MRI. After consulting with doctors and several positive conversations with Sean Payton, Westhoff made the difficult decision to head home to Florida.
    
   “It’s not easy to make this decision, but this was a wake-up call that I needed to put my health first,” Westhoff said. “This team is very much headed in the right direction with a strong foundation and a winning culture. I’m grateful to Sean for giving me the opportunity to contribute to a first-class organization and wish the Broncos the very best.”[](https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1856497223959183851/photo/1)
