"Speaking before practice on Thursday, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that defensive coordinator Terrell Williams - who has been undergoing treatment for prostate cancer this season - is making the trip to Santa Clara with the rest of the team on Sunday. "He's doing good," Vrabel said. "He's excited about traveling with us. We're excited about having him." Williams, who joined Vrabel's staff this past offseason after working together for years Tennessee, has been away from the team for a majority of the 2025 season as he focuses on his health and treatment."
"The 51-year-old Williams has been around New England's facility during the winter, with cornerback Marcus Jones welcoming his return whenever he has stopped by. "It means a lot," Jones said of Williams making the trip out west this weekend. "First off, battling what he had to battle through and everything like that. So we're glad that he's feeling way better. ... From the beginning, he's been involved whenever he didn't have to be." With Williams sidelined for most of the year, inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr has handed play-calling duties as the team's interim DC - with New England's defense playing its best football since the calendar flipped to the postseason. Over New England's three playoff games, the defense has only relinquished 26 total points."
Terrell Williams, New England's defensive coordinator who has been undergoing prostate cancer treatment, will travel with the Patriots to Santa Clara for Super Bowl LX. Williams joined the staff this past offseason and missed most of the 2025 season while focusing on treatment. He has visited the facility during the winter and maintained contact with coaches and players. Cornerback Marcus Jones expressed gratitude for Williams' recovery and involvement. With Williams sidelined, inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr assumed play-calling duties as interim defensive coordinator, and the defense allowed just 26 points across three playoff games.
