There is a new member of the Detroit Lions training and player development staff. Reports on Super Bowl Sunday indicate the Lions have hired Brett Fischer as the new director of player heath and performance.
The report comes from Fischer himself, via his Instagram account.
“I want say that I am honored and proud to announce that I have been named the new Director of Player Health and Performance for the Detroit Lions,” Fischer concluded after thanking many, including the Arizona Cardinals.
Fischer has worked with the Cardinals for the past 15 years, serving as the staff physical therapist through his private consulting firm.
The Lions have an existing director of sports performance, Mike Clark, as part of a five-person player performance team. It is unclear where Fischer will fit into that structure. The Lions organization has yet to confirm the hiring.
