Patriots Defensive Coordinator Terrell Williams Away for Health Testing

New England Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams will be away from the team for an unspecified health-related issue, as announced by head coach Mike Vrabel. This absence is unrelated to a previous medical condition Williams experienced in March, and the team plans to conduct further tests to determine the next steps. During Williams' prior absence in the spring, inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr took over defensive play-calling duties, and he is expected to assist again while Vrabel and the defensive staff prepare for the upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins. Williams had previously collapsed during training camp due to dehydration but returned shortly after. Vrabel emphasized the priority is Williams' health and indicated that more detailed plans for defensive coaching will be shared later in the week. The Patriots are awaiting further information regarding Williams' availability beyond the current week.
