John Glenn Returns to Commanders, Boosts Special Teams

0:00It's April 8th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. Washington commanders just beefed up their coaching staff, bringing back John Glenn as assistant special team's coach. He joins Larry Iso's unit after a year away with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he coached linebackers. Earlier this year, Glenn worked under Iso during the commander's strong special teams run. They ranked third in punt return yards allowed and second. Glenn kickoff returns held down. When he bounced to Vegas, Brian Schneider stepped in as his replacement. Schneider's been battling cancer treatments as head coach Dan Quinn shared back in January, but he's still on the roster. Glenn's return gives them continuity while Schneider focuses on health. Glenn's guide deep roots in the lead, starting college coaching in 2006 before hitting the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012. He climbed from special team's assistant to linebackers coach, mentoring stars like Bobby Wagner.

1:00Wagner, fresh off two seasons in Washington, hits free agency now, and Glenn's higher keeps that defensive vibe flowing as the commanders build for next season.
