"With defensive coordinator Terrell Williams still away from the Patriots due to an undisclosed health matter, a different assistant will be calling defensive plays in Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr will call defensive plays for New England in the Week 2 matchup against Miami, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel told reporters on Friday. "I'll help him like I always do, but I'm excited for that," Vrabel said of Kuhr."
"Vrabel didn't offer an update on Williams's condition on Friday, saying he would wait until next week to do so. Williams departed the team earlier this week, but the current health issue he's dealing with is unrelated to the health scare that caused him to be away from the team during the offseason. When Williams was away from the team before the start of training camp, Kuhr filled in as the defensive playcaller during practices in the spring."
Zak Kuhr, the Patriots' inside linebackers coach, will call defensive plays for New England in the Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins because defensive coordinator Terrell Williams is away due to an undisclosed health matter. Mike Vrabel confirmed Kuhr's role and said the staff prepared the game plan across downs, third-down situations, short-yardage, and red zone. Williams left the team earlier in the week and his current issue is unrelated to an offseason health scare. Kuhr previously filled in as defensive playcaller during spring practices and has coached at the college and pro levels since 2011, including time with Ohio State and the Titans.
