The Commanders hired former Bills defensive backs coach Jim Salgado on an interim basis, ESPN reported Wednesday.

Washington fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio and DBs coach Brent Vieselmeyer last Friday.


Buffalo parted ways with Salgado after six seasons following last season's playoff loss against Cincinnati.

He joined the Michigan State staff for 2023 but was available following coach Mel Tucker being fired by the Spartans.

Before joining the Bills, Salgado coached at Princeton (2013-16) and Syracuse (2005-08).
