Report: Maryland Fires Two Athletic Trainers Found to Be at Fault in Jordan McNair's Death

Maryland has fired two athletic trainers following the death of offensive lineman Jordan McNair, reports to The Washington Post.

Wes Robinson, head trainer for the football program, and Steve Nordwall, assistant athletic director of athletic training, were fired Tuesday, according to the Post. Both had been on paid administrative leave since Aug. 10.

A university spokesperson declined to comment on Robinson and Nordwall specifically but released a statement to the Post saying," The trainers that were previously on administrative leave are no longer employed at the university."

Maryland hired Robinson in 2006 and Nordwall in 2014.
