The Giants have fired assistant defensive line coach Bryan Cox, a source told The Post.
What prompted the firing and why it happened at the end of the bye week was not immediately known Friday night.
His name was removed from the team website.
Cox is the third coach fired by the Giants this season and the second since Mike Kafka replaced Brian Daboll as head coach.
Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen was fired last week.
The Giants’ rushing defense ranks last in the NFL.
Interim defensive coordinator Charlie Bullen brought back a tackling circuit drill last week.
Cox and defensive line coach Andre Patterson worked with all position groups on tackling fundamentals.
The circuit wasn’t new, but the accountability for redoing a rep after a mistake was.
Cox was an original member of Daboll’s staff in 2022.
He is a former Pro Bowl linebacker who retired in 2002.
Cox was fired by the Falcons in 2017, allegedly for shoving a Cardinals scout at the NFL combine.
