The Washington Commanders hire former NFL wide receiver Wes Welker as their new tight ends coach following a recent staff change. Multiple reports say Welker replaces Ben Steele, who is removed from his role after being fired Monday. Steele’s dismissal follows his June 7 arrest in Virginia on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to one outlet. The reports describe Welker’s appointment as a direct replacement for Steele and frame it as a response to the coaching staff adjustment tied to the arrest. The Commanders’ decision brings a well-known former player into the position, while the organization moves forward after the earlier personnel change. The coverage centers on the coaching transition and the circumstances surrounding Steele’s firing, with both outlets identifying the same individuals and timeline for the change.
