Patriots DC Terrell Williams is away from the team with an unforeseen health issue
Terrell Williams will undergo medical tests unrelated to his spring absence, with inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr expected to assume greater defensive responsibilities during his leave.
- On Wednesday, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel announced Terrell Williams, Patriots defensive coordinator, will be away from the team facility for a few days to undergo medical testing due to an issue that arose earlier in the week.
- After Sunday’s season opener, Mike Vrabel said Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams’s health issue emerged early in the week following the 20-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and is unrelated to his spring absence.
- Inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr has filled in before and will collaborate with Mike Vrabel and the Patriots defensive staff to cover Terrell Williams's duties, possibly handling play-calling Sunday.
- The Patriots will travel to Miami for the upcoming game in Miami without Williams, and Vrabel said coaching details will be clarified on Friday as the defense faces pressure after allowing nine long passes.
- Williams has a prior health history, previously missing spring due to a health scare unrelated to current leave, and has coached under Vrabel with the Titans and Lions before rejoining the Patriots.
