The Falcons parted ways with wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard on Monday, the team announced.
Passing game coordinator T.J. Yates, who was the Falcons’ wide receivers coach in 2022-23, will assume Hilliard’s duties.
Hilliard joined Raheem Morris in Atlanta in 2024 after Morris was hired as head coach.
Drake London has 16 receptions for 159 yards and no touchdowns; Darnell Mooney has six catches for 64 yards; and Ray-Ray McCloud has five catches for 71 yards. No wide receiver or tight end has caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
The Falcons have scored only one touchdown in their last eight quarters.
Hilliard joined the Falcons’ staff after serving as Auburn’s co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach in 2022.
He spent a decade as a receivers coach in the NFL for the Steelers (2020-21), Commanders (2012; 2014-19) and Bills (2013).
As a player, Hilliard was selected by the Giants in the first round of the 1997 draft. He played 12 seasons — eight with the Giants (1997-2004) and four with the Buccaneers (2005-08).
