BREAKING: Raiders Head Coach Pete Carroll Suspended from All Team Activities Amid Serious Health Scare; Hospitalized After Sudden Collapse
Las Vegas, NV — April 23, 2025
A wave of shock and concern is sweeping through Raider Nation today, as Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has been suspended from all team-related activities due to what the organization is calling a “serious health issue.” The announcement follows a devastating collapse Carroll suffered earlier this week, which has now led to his hospitalization and close medical monitoring.
The 73-year-old coach reportedly fell ill during a closed practice session, prompting an immediate medical response from team staff. Sources say Carroll was unresponsive for several moments before being stabilized and rushed to a nearby Las Vegas medical facility.
While details about his condition remain limited, team officials have confirmed that Carroll is currently under intensive care and being evaluated for further complications. The Raiders have not yet named an interim head coach, but emphasized that their “full focus is on Coach Pete’s recovery.”
“Our hearts are with Coach Carroll and his family right now,” said Raiders GM Dave Ziegler in an official statement. “He’s a fighter, and we’re all praying for his strength and healing. Football can wait—his health is what matters most.”
Players have reportedly been shaken by the news, with many taking to social media to post messages of love, hope, and support for the beloved head coach. Fans, too, have been flooding online forums and news feeds with concern and emotional tributes.
Carroll, known for his high energy, charismatic leadership, and championship pedigree, was brought in to lead the Raiders into a new era. Now, with his health uncertain, the franchise faces not only an emotional void, but also a sudden halt in their offseason momentum.
This developing story is one that Raider Nation—and the entire NFL world—will be watching closely in the days ahead.
