The Carolina Panthers have fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and appointed an interim defensive coordinator and defensive play caller, the team announced Friday.
Evero, who served as the Panthers' defensive coordinator, was relieved of his duties effective immediately. The organization did not immediately disclose the names of the interim defensive coordinator or the designated defensive play caller in its initial announcement.
The move comes as the Panthers look to adjust their defensive strategy during the 2026 NFL season. Further details regarding the interim appointments and the team's defensive structure moving forward are expected to be released in the coming days.
