ALLEN PARK, Mich. - The Detroit Lions have fired defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant, head coach Dan Campbell said Monday.
Pleasant was in his second season in the role in Detroit after previous NFL stops with the Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders and Cleveland Browns.
Detroit (1-6) decided to make the move after its fifth straight defeat, a 31-27 loss Sunday to Miami in which Dolphins receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle torched the secondary unit.
Hill caught 12 passes for 188 yards, and Waddle made eight catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns.
