Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Raheem Morris Suspended Amid Investigation
The Atlanta Falcons’ head coach, Raheem Morris, has been temporarily suspended following allegations of violating league conduct policies. The NFL announced the decision earlier today, citing an ongoing investigation into the matter.
Details surrounding the specific nature of the allegations remain unclear, but sources close to the situation indicate it may involve interactions with league officials during a recent game. Morris, known for his fiery coaching style, has yet to issue a personal statement, though the Falcons organization expressed its commitment to full cooperation with the investigation.
“The Atlanta Falcons hold all staff to the highest standards of professionalism,” the team said in an official release. “We are working closely with the league to resolve this matter and will take any necessary actions based on the findings.”
The suspension comes at a critical point in the Falcons’ season, as the team has been fighting to maintain its playoff hopes. Interim coaching responsibilities will likely fall to the assistant coaching staff while the matter is resolved.
The NFL is expected to conclude its investigation within the next few weeks, at which point further disciplinary action—or potential reinstatement—will be determined.
