The Lions filled their defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator positions this week, hiring Cory Undlin and Brayden Coombs, respectively.
Undlin spent the last five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles as a defensive backs coach, where he won Super Bowl LII in 2017.
Coombs was with the Cincinatti Bengals for the last 10 seasons. He was their assistant special teams coordinator for the past seven seasons.
The Lions still have a couple more spots to fill on their coaching staff.
