Former New York Jets center Nick Mangold has died at age 41 from complications related to chronic kidney disease. Mangold, who spent his entire 11-year NFL career (2006–2016) with the Jets, was a seven-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro, and a key leader on the team’s offensive line. Earlier in October 2025, he revealed that he had lived with a genetic kidney condition since 2006 and was on dialysis while searching for a type O kidney donor. Despite his health struggles, he remained active in promoting organ donation awareness. The Jets and the broader NFL community have mourned his loss, remembering him as a tough, dependable player and a beloved teammate. He is survived by his wife, Jenny, and their four children.
The Baltimore Ravens incorrectly listed Jackson as a “full” participant in their final practice before a game despite the fact he took scout-team reps rather than starter reps, a distinction under NFL rules that should have classified him as “limited.” The league has launched a review, and the incident is prompting teams across the NFL to examine their internal injury-reporting procedures rather than treating the designation as a strategic opaque tool, as transparency and integrity are being prioritized amid increased regulatory scrutiny.Have a nice week!
LIVE GENEROUSLY!
