What happened: Court records cited by Keim list the June 7 charges and Steele's refusal of a blood or breath test. Washington later fired tight ends coach Ben Steele.

Why it matters: The dismissal leaves Washington with a coaching vacancy as training camp begins. Steele had joined the staff during the 2026 offseason.

By the numbers: Steele's dismissal came 50 days after the June 7 incident.

What to watch: Watch for the court proceedings and Washington's plan for coaching its tight ends.
