The Story in 60 Seconds

The New Orleans Saints have parted ways with run game coordinator T.J. Paganetti following struggles on the ground and a bye-week evaluation. Writer Darrion Gray notes that offensive coordinator Kellen Moore finally showed some accountability by making a coaching adjustment, though the decision primarily shifts more responsibility to offensive line coach Brendan Nugent.
