Thank you for all of your messages of concern. I want to assure everyone I am healthy and doing well. I had an incident which caused me to pause and realize enough was enough. I am grateful for the warning and look forward to the future.
I want to thank everyone for the well wishes. I want to assure you I’m ok, my body gave me a warning this week and I had to listen and put my health first. #BroncosCountry is amazing..thank you!
Mike Westhoff is stepping away from the Broncos due to potential health reasons, but the good news is it appears he’s going to be okay, per source.
The decision to step away was to take care of himself at 76 years old.
He believes the Broncos are in good hands with Ben Kotwica and Chris Banjo.

Thanks for always holding me accountable and pushing me to be the best player that I could be. Your friendship and support over the years has meant so much. Here’s to the best Special Teams coach in the BIZ

#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.”
That’s a serious bummer. Wishing you well and praying for your full recovery, @STCoachMike! You’ve been a part of an amazing turnaround, and #BroncosCountry thanks you!
Great insight here from @Broncos head coach @SeanPayton on the process a QB like @bonix10 had to go through with teams on his private workouts leading up to the draft. 125 plays to remember… way worse than any test I ever crammed for!

This was such a perfectly executed special teams sequence, one of the best from any team last season. There isn’t a single Denver unit that could pull this off the past decade. Amazing job from Mike Westhoff, Ben Kotwica and Sean Payton keeping them aware in practice for any situations like this.
