The Carolina Panthers made a few more adjustments to their staff on Monday.
As first reported by Joe Person of The Athletic, the team has fired head athletic trainer Kevin King and health/performance/nutrition director Andrew Althoff. Team beat writer Sheena Quick and Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer later confirmed the moves.
King started with the organization in 2013, when he was hired as the assistant athletic trainer. He’d be promoted to head athletic trainer in 2020.
That’d be the same year in which Althoff arrived in Carolina, coming over with then-head coach Matt Rhule from Baylor University.
The departures of King and Althoff are just the latest for the Panthers, who also parted ways with three defensive coaches last week. Carolina, this past Wednesday, dismissed outside linebackers coach Tem Lukabu, secondary coach Bert Watts and defensive quality control coach Bobby Maffei.
2024 saw the Panthers allow 534 points, a new single-season NFL record.
