The Detroit Lions have promoted tight ends coach Ben Johnson to offensive coordinator, according to a source.

Johnson originally joined the organization in 2019 as an offensive quality control coach before being promoted to tight ends coach in 2020.

Anthony Lynn served as the OC under Dan Campbell this past season.

Detroit Lions wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El wants to see the team add three players to his position group this season.

Those additions would join Amon-Ra St. Brown, Quintez Cephus and Josh Reynolds, if the team re-signs the veteran.

"You always want to have a guy, so to speak, that guy, we're throwing to him, we don’t care who is covering what, we know he can go up and get that," Randle El said.

"My guys know we haven't had that guy yet. So it's nothing new to them. It's not a slap to them or a jab at them in any way. That's what we need to complement not just Amon-Ra, because I felt like 'Q' was really taking some strides before he got hurt."
