Falcons Fire Coach After Sexual Assault Allegation

The Atlanta Falcons have terminated assistant defensive line coach LaTroy Lewis following a sexual assault allegation that surfaced shortly after his hiring with the team. Lewis was brought on board earlier this month but his tenure lasted only a brief period before the allegation came to light.

The team made the decision to part ways with Lewis immediately upon learning of the allegation, though no further details about the nature of the claim or the ongoing investigation have been released at this time.
