Dom Capers spent this season helping one of his former players, Aaron Glenn, get his defense off the ground as a senior defensive assistant.
With his work for the Detroit Lions done, Capers is headed west to help another one of his ex-charges do the same.
Capers is leaving the Lions to take a senior defensive position with the Denver Broncos, where he will work under new Broncos coordinator Ejiro Evero, his former quality control coach with the Green Bay Packers.
The Broncos have not announced the moves yet because Evero, the Los Angeles Rams secondary coach, cannot be hired until after the Super Bowl.
