Overview

• The team announced that passing-game coordinator T. J. Yates will assume wide receivers coaching duties after Ike Hilliard’s dismissal.
• Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson will call plays from the field starting in Week 4 to improve direct communication with quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
• The moves follow a 1-2 start and a shutout in Carolina in which Penix threw two interceptions, including a pick-six, and Atlanta never reached the red zone.
• Through three games, the passing attack has not produced a touchdown to a wide receiver or tight end, with drops and route issues reported around the receiver group.
• Special teams turmoil persists after releasing Younghoe Koo, as replacement John Parker Romo missed two field goals against the Panthers; the Falcons host Washington on Sunday.
