The Carolina Panthers dismissed defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero after a 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers, making him the first NFL coordinator fired this season. Head coach Dave Canales promoted defensive line coach Todd Wash to serve as interim defensive coordinator.
The move comes as the Panthers, now 3-4, have dropped two straight games and are tied with the Atlanta Falcons for first place in the NFC South. Injuries to cornerbacks Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Akayleb Evans and Will Lee have strained the secondary, while the offensive line continues to miss starters such as Taylor Moton and Ickey Ekwonu.
