New England Patriots defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington is reportedly planning on interviewing for the defensive coordinator job with the Cincinnati Bengals on Wednesday.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported the news on Tuesday.
Covington was given permission to seek opportunities outside of New England with the team currently undergoing a new head coach search. There is no certainty that the new coach will keep the current staff around after accepting the job.
So Covington is clearly getting ahead of the situation by looking for other coaching jobs.
He had a rough first year as the Patriots' defensive coordinator in 2024.
