Packers DL coach Demarcus Covington interviewing for Raiders DC job

The Green Bay Packers could be at risk of losing another assistant coach on the defensive side of the football. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Las Vegas Raiders will interview Packers defensive line coach and run game coordinator Demarcus Covington for the team's open defensive coordinator position under new head coach Klint Kubiak.

Covington, one of the last remaining holdovers from Jeff Hafley's final defensive staff in Green Bay, was previously a defensive coordinator of the New England Patriots. He joined the Packers in 2025 after spending eight seasons as an assistant coach in New England.

With Hafley going to Miami, the Packers have coaching turnover at defensive coordinator, linebackers coach, defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator entering 2026. If Covington departs, every major position coach and coordinator on the defensive side will be new for the Packers this coming season, and defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon would have another important role to fill on staff.

Vince Oghobaase is the assistant defensive line coach under Covington.
