Todd Wash to serve as Panthers’ interim DC

Todd Wash

Player Stats

Panthers named DL coach Todd Wash as interim defensive coordinator.

Wash will take over for the now-departed Ejiro Evero, who was dismissed shortly after the Panthers’ Week 8 loss to the Packers. Wash, who has been with the Panthers since 2023, spent five seasons as the Jaguars’ defensive coordinator (2016 to 2020), with his defense finishing top five in both yards and points allowed in 2017 and 2018. Wash’s first task will be finding ways to improve a run defense that ranks among the worst in the league through the first half of the season, but given that his fingerprints are all over the defensive line, it’s hard to imagine a noticeable improvement is on the way over the final 10 weeks of the season.

Lions hired ex-Jaguars DC Todd Wash as DL coach.

Wash, 52, was the Jaguars’ DC the last five seasons but was ushered out with coach Doug Marrone’s staff. He spent eight seasons in Jacksonville where he was the previous DL coach prior to his promotion. He’s been coaching defensive linemen in the NFL since 2007 and will work under first-time Lions DC Aaron Glenn in Detroit.

Jaguars DC Todd Wash will miss Sunday’s game against the Browns.

The Jaguars’ defensive coaching staff has been working remotely following a positive COVID-19 test. This likely means Wash was the one who tested positive and won’t be cleared to return for Week 12. With Wash out, DB coach Joe Danna will call plays against Cleveland this week.

The Jaguars entire defensive coaching staff was sent home on Tuesday following a positive COVID-19 test.

Contract tracing is underway. Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, it is “not yet clear how it may impact who’s available.” The Jags play the Browns on Sunday. Stay tuned.

Jaguars DC Todd Wash said his unit is “not a true 3-4 or two-gap team.”

“It’s funny: everybody says we’re going to a 3-4,” Wash said. “You will see some different fronts, but we want to still continue to give teams a lot of multiple looks. Most importantly, we want to put the players on our roster in a position to be successful in any scheme that they fit.” There’s been some speculation this unit will move from a 4-3 defensive scheme to a 3-4 this upcoming year, but Wash clearly isn’t having it. The organization added rookies C.J. Henderson and DE K’Lavon Chaisson, not to mention free agents Aaron Lynch and Cassius Marsh, but will move forward with the same defensive front it’s leaned on the past two seasons.

Jaguars announced they will retain Todd Wash as the defensive coordinator.

It is a bit of a surprise considering Wash had been with former coach Gus Bradley for several years, but the Jaguars are clearly favoring continuity. Promoted to coordinator this time last year, Wash’s unit finished sixth in total defense and surrendered the fifth-fewest passing yards and touchdowns in the league. While Jags fans might not be thrilled Wash is returning, his defense was not the issue this season.

CAR Coaching Staff

The Florida Times-Union reports Jaguars DL coach Todd Wash is “the leading candidate” to land the team’s defensive coordinator position.

The Jaguars interviewed Jim Schwartz for the position, but he landed in Philadelphia. With Schwartz out of the picture, coach Gus Bradley will likely take on a bigger role on defense, allowing Jacksonville to hire an inexperienced coordinator. Wash, Falcons DBs coach Marquand Manuel and ex-Dolphins interim DC Lou Anarumo all fit the bill. The Jags are expected to make their decision by this weekend.

Jaguars promoted DL coach Todd Wash to defensive coordinator.

The Jags struck out on all their veteran candidates, leaving them to hire from within. Promoting Wash is a sure sign coach Gus Bradley is planning to take on a bigger role in defensive play-calling as he prepares for a make-or-break season. Wash has coached alongside Bradley for over a decade.

Eagles waived CB Jakorian Bennett.

Bennett was acquired by the Eagles in a swap with the Raiders before the start of last season. The 26-year-old played 98 defensive snaps in two seasons for Philly, spending all of the 2026 season on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Eagles now waive Bennett from injured reserve.

The Denver Gazette’s Chris Tomasson said “indications point to Broncos WR Pat Bryant returning to practice this week.”

Bryant has missed the Broncos’ last four games after being placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury. The 23-year-old receiver is eligible to return whenever the Broncos deem him ready to do so, and his practicing this week would mean the team has opened his 21-day return window. Bryant has caught nine passes for 133 yards and one touchdown and was third among Broncos receivers in routes run (91) through the first four weeks of the season. He could make for an interesting stash in deeper leagues, but fantasy managers shouldn’t rush to put him in their lineups whenever he does return.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Brian Thomas Jr. “has been the area of interest for a lot of other teams.”

Thomas is once again the subject of trade talks as next week’s trade deadline rapidly approaches. The 24-year-old receiver, who broke out for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns as a rookie, has earned just 22 targets through seven games this season and has a 10-117-2 line. With so many wide receiver-needy teams out there, it’s hard to imagine the Jaguars holding Thomas, who has become more of an afterthought in the offense, but they’ve resisted trading him over the last year despite multiple teams showing interest.

Carlson has converted 8-of-12 field goals this season and is 16-for-18 on PATs. The veteran kicker who is known for his big leg has seen all four of his misses come on distances of 50-plus yards, but that was more than enough for the Saints to look in a different direction. Practice squad kicker Charlie Smyth, who converted 12 of his 16 field goal attempts for the Saints last season has a chance to be the next man up when the Saints take on the Browns in Week 9.

Ravens placed K Tyler Loop (groin) on injured reserve.

Loop will be sidelined for at least the next four weeks after suffering a right groin injury in Sunday’s loss to the Bills. The second-year kicker competed for the starting kicker job in camp and has struggled during parts of this season. He has converted on 13 of his 17 field goal attempts this year, with his four misses all coming from inside 50 yards. Veteran Jake Moody is set to take over in Loop’s absence when the Ravens face the Jaguars on Thursday night. Loop will be eligible to return in Week 14 when the Ravens play host to the Buccaneers.

Colts signed DT Adetomiwa Adebawore to a two-year, $35 million contract extension.

Adebawore, 25, is in the midst of a breakout season for the Colts. After setting career highs in tackles (36), TFLs (5), and sacks (4.0) last season, the fourth-year pro has already tallied four sacks and four TFLs in his first eight games of this season. While the Colts are in the middle of a rebuild, the decision to sign Adebawore to an extension means he’s one of the players they hope to build around in the years ahead. He is now under contract through the 2028 season.
