Summary
- Carolina Panthers dismissed defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero on Friday.

The Carolina Panthers have terminated the contract of defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. The team announced the decision on Friday morning, just one day after a 27-19 defeat against the Green Bay Packers. This loss marked a difficult point in their season.
Under Evero's leadership, the Panthers' defense has faced considerable challenges. They are currently allowing 27.6 points per game, positioning them 27th in the league. Furthermore, their total defense ranks 23rd, giving up 349.6 yards per contest. Notable high-scoring games against them include a 59-point opening loss and a 43-point defeat.
In response to these struggles, defensive line coach Todd Wash has been named the interim defensive coordinator. This change aims to address the team's defensive performance issues as the season progresses.
