ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Commanders are hiring Anthony Lynn to serve as their run game coordinator, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Lynn was San Francisco's assistant head coach/running backs the past two seasons and has a strong relationship with Washington's new general manager Adam Peters — as well as with new head coach Dan Quinn.
Washington also is hiring Tom Donatell as defensive backs coach. Donatell spent the past three years with the Los Angeles Chargers and was their passing game coordinator/secondary coach in 2023.
The 49ers, whose offense features star running back Christian McCaffrey, ranked fourth in rushing yards per game and third in yards per carry in Lynn's two seasons.
