Detroit Lions pass game coordinator Tanner Engstrand is a candidate to be the New England Patriots’ next offensive coordinator. According to a report from NFL Network, the Patriots plan to interview Engstrand for the position, although there is no timeline for that discussion yet.
Losing Engstrand would be a tough blow to the Lions coaching staff, particularly if Detroit loses current offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to one of the two remaining head coach vacancies (Commanders, Seahawks). Johnson is considered one of the front-runners for the Washington Commanders job and he has also interviewed for the Seattle Seahawks job, as well.
