Washington Commanders Dismiss Tight Ends Coach Ben Steele Ahead of Training Camp
The Washington Commanders dismissed tight ends coach Ben Steele days before training camp, confirming the move without further explanation. The decision follows Steele's June arrest in Virginia on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and related charges, which reportedly violated team policy. Offensive assistant Wes Welker temporarily covered tight ends during minicamp, and head coach Dan Quinn is expected to announce Steele's replacement soon. Steele has prior NFL coaching experience with several teams and played briefly in the league.
