The Commanders will be looking for a new offensive play caller.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday that Commanders fired offensive coordinator Scott Turner, who has been calling plays for the franchise in the last two seasons. Washington later announced the news with a statement from coach Ron Rivera.
“I met with Coach Turner today and informed him that we will be moving in another direction going forward with the offensive coordinator position,” Rivera said in the statement, per the team’s website. “Unfortunately, we did not live up to the expectations and standard that I expected to see from our offensive unit.
