In a meeting with local media at the NFL Combine, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced a few coaching changes for the 2022 season, per the local reporters on site in Indianapolis.
To fill the team’s tight ends coach vacancy—left by the promotion of Ben Johnson to offensive coordinator—the Lions are promoting offensive quality control coach Tanner Engstrand. Additionally, the Lions are shifting outside linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard to inside linebackers coach, replacing Mark DeLeone, who split with the team earlier this year for unknown reasons.
Engstrand taking over as tight ends coach comes as no surprise.
