FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS, AUG 4 – Terrell Williams collapsed briefly during practice due to dehydration but is expected to recover; he missed spring workouts for a separate health issue, team said.
- Monday, Patriots Coach Terrell Williams collapsed on the sidelines during practice behind Gillette Stadium, and a stretcher was brought out but he stood up under his own power.
- After missing the entire spring due to an 'eye-opening medical situation' earlier this year, Williams rejoined the Patriots when training camp started last month.
- Williams brings decades of defense coaching experience since 1998, joining head coach Mike Vrabel’s staff in late January as New England Patriots defensive coordinator.
- Inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr assumed defensive play-calling after Williams’ departure Monday, amid preparations for joint practices with the Washington Commanders and Minnesota Vikings.
- Assuming no setbacks, Williams is expected back in Foxboro soon to begin his first official season as defensive coordinator.
