""Due to some unforseen ongoings here with Terrell, Terrell Williams will be away for the next few days," Vrabel said. "It's nothing related to the incident from March," Vrabel added. "But it was something that just came up and we'll have to run some more tests and we think it's best, I think it's best, that he focus on that and we prepare for Miami with what we've been doing.""
""Williams had a health scare back in the spring that caused him to spend a significant amount of time away from the team. Inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr filled in during Williams's previous absence, but Vrabel wouldn't say if Kuhr would be responsible for calling defensive plays during Sunday's game against the Dolphins. 'We'll talk to you a little bit later in the week, on Friday, about how the calling of the game will go defensively,' Vrabel said. 'Zak and I have been working with the staff to make sure we're where we need to be.'""
""Vrabel played linebacker in the NFL for 14 seasons, most of them with the Patriots. There's a chance he could call the defensive plays on Sunday, and if he does, it wouldn't be his first time doing it. Vrabel spent a year as the Houston Texans defensive coordinator in 2017 before becoming head coach of the Tennessee Titans the following year. The Texans went 4-12 in 2017 and gave up a league-worst 27.3 points per game.""
Terrell Williams will be away from the Patriots for several days because of a recent health issue that requires additional tests and focus. The absence is not related to the March incident and follows a prior spring health scare that previously kept him away for a significant time. Inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr filled in during the earlier absence, and the team will clarify defensive play-calling responsibilities later in the week. Mike Vrabel, a former NFL linebacker and former Texans defensive coordinator, could potentially call plays if needed for the game against Miami.
