The Atlanta Falcons have dismissed assistant defensive line coach LaTroy Lewis from his role, according to a report from @AdamSchefter of ESPN.
The move to part ways with Lewis comes as the Falcons continue to refine their coaching staff during the NFL offseason. Lewis had been serving as a key assistant on the defensive side of the ball, working closely with the team's interior linemen and edge rushers.
Before joining the coaching ranks, Lewis spent several seasons in the NFL as a player. A former standout at Tennessee, he had stints as a linebacker and defensive end with the Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, and Tennessee Titans. He eventually transitioned into coaching, bringing his professional playing experience to the Atlanta sidelines.
The Falcons have not yet announced a replacement for the position or provided further details regarding the departure. This coaching change is part of the ongoing administrative adjustments teams typically undergo leading up to the new league year and the NFL Draft.
