According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team is working towards hiring Johnny Morton as their next offensive coordinator. The 55-year-old previously worked on the Lions' staff in 2022 as a senior offensive assistant.

The Detroit Lions have found their Ben Johnson replacement, as the team hired a former Denver Broncos coach as offensive coordinator.
