The Washington Redskins announced that they’ve employed a new TE coach, which means there’s likely an addition coming to the Los Angeles Rams’ staff as the former Redskins TE coach was Wes Phillips, current Rams Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips’ son:
The Redskins announce that they have hired a new TEs coach. Former TEs coach Wes Phillips is expected to join Sean McVay’s staff out in LA, sources say.

As Grant noted, it’s expected that Wes heads to Los Angeles to join his father (and Head Coach Sean McVay) once again. Phillips has spent his 12-year NFL coaching career with only two teams: the Dallas Cowboys (Wade Phillips’ former head coaching spot) and the Washington Redskins. Wes has generally stayed on the offensive side of the ball being employed as a Offensive Assistant Coach/Quality Control Coach, Assistant Offensive Line Coach, and for the past six years (five of which came in Washington) a Tight Ends Coach.
It’s not known what Wes will be asked to coach in Los Angeles, but it could be a possibility for him to takeover QB Coach duties as current QB Coach Zac Taylor is expected to be named the Cincinnati Bengals’ Head Coach upon the end of the season.
