Washington Football Team’s Jennifer King and Cleveland’s Callie Brownson made NFL history during Week 15.
Both served as the running backs coach for their respective teams as both franchises face COVID-19 outbreaks that have sidelined more than 50 players and coaches combined. This marks the first time two women will coach position groups in league history, per NFL Football Operations's Troy Vincent Sr.
WFT announced on Monday afternoon that the following assistants would miss Tuesday’s game against the Eagles, which had been delayed due to the rise in COVID-19 cases: Defensive line coach Sam Mills, wide receivers coach Drew Terrell, running backs coach Randy Jordan, defensive backs coach Chris Harris, assistant defensive backs/nickel coach Brent Vieselmeyer, defensive quality control coach Vincent Rivera and defensive coaching intern Christian Garcia.
