The Detroit Lions have a new defensive line coach: Former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash.
The Lions hired Wash and three other assistants Wednesday and are close to rounding out their staff.
Wash spent the past five seasons as Jacksonville's defensive coordinator after originally joining the team as defensive line coach/run game coordinator in 2013. He previously coached defensive line for the Seattle Seahawks.
