Overview

  • Following their Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers, the Panthers fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and passing-game coordinator Jonathan Cooley.
  • Defensive line coach Todd Wash was promoted to interim defensive coordinator to call the defense for the rest of the season.
  • The team announced on Monday that former three-time Pro Bowler DeAngelo Hall will return as cornerbacks coach for the remainder of the year.
  • Carolina’s secondary is depleted with starters Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson on injured reserve and backups who have struggled when asked to fill in.
  • The staff changes aim to address a unit giving up 27.6 points and 140.7 rushing yards per game and will be tested in the Nov. 8 home game against the Denver Broncos as the Panthers try to protect a 3-4 NFC South lead.
