Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera met with the media Tuesday at the NFL combine and discussed several topics. One important topic is the head athletic trainer. Rivera said the team has interviewed four candidates — all with NFL experience — and is close to deciding on a new trainer.
The Commanders are in this position because previous head trainer Ryan Vermillion remains under investigation after being placed on leave when the DEA raided team headquarters in October and Vermillion’s home. The investigation was unrelated to the team.
