Packers Total Access : 🔴 BREAKING NEWS: Packers Could Lose ANOTHER Defensive Coach To The Raiders! Can They Replace Him?

Green Bay Packers coaching news today, February 14, 2026: Defensive Line Coach and Run Game Coordinator DeMarcus Covington to interview with Las Vegas Raiders for Defensive Coordinator job, Jonathan Gannon staff updates, and Packers news today. Packer Nation, the "Staff Exodus" of 2026 just hit another gear! As of Saturday, February 14, 2026, reports from Ian Rapoport and NFL Network confirm that the Las Vegas Raiders have requested an interview with Packers Defensive Line Coach and Run Game Coordinator DeMarcus Covington for their vacant Defensive Coordinator position. Covington, who only recently joined Matt LaFleur's staff after a stint as the Patriots' DC, has quickly become a hot commodity in the coaching carousel. With Jeff Hafley already taking the Dolphins' HC job and taking Sean Duggan and Ryan Downard with him, the Packers are facing a total "brain drain" on the defensive side of the ball. Can Matt LaFleur and new DC Jonathan Gannon afford to lose the man tasked with unlocking Rashan Gary and a rehabbing Devonte Wyatt? In this breaking news update, we dive into the "Covington to Vegas" rumors. We analyze why Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak is targeting Covington—specifically his experience coaching elite edge rushers like Micah Parsons (even if for a short time) and how that translates to Maxx Crosby. We look at the potential replacements if Covington bolts: Does LaFleur promote Will Smart or look toward a veteran like Jim Schwartz if he doesn't land a coordinator gig? We also tackle the impact on the 2026 NFL Draft—if the Packers lose their Run Game Coordinator, does it change their evaluation of 3rd-round targets like DT Domonique Orange?
