Detroit Lions add veteran coach Dom Capers to staff as senior defensive assistant

Good addition.

Dom Capers has a wealth of experience as an NFL HC and Defensive Coordinator. His familiarity with Aaron Glenn from their Texans expansion team days should bode well for the Lions.

Hiring Dom Capers as an assistant proves the Lions are serious about changing the defense

The Lions hiring former Jaguars Defensive Coordinator Todd Wash as Defensive Line Coach very likely is because Capers and Wash worked together in Jacksonville in 2019. Capers' influence with the Lions appears to have already been substantial.
