MIAMI -- Dolphins assistant head coach/quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell is taking a leave of absence for the 2019 NFL season to address a health issue, the team announced Saturday.
Caldwell is expected to be away from the team to focus on his health throughout the season, but he will serve as a consultant for the team and veteran voice for head coach Brian Flores.
"I will be stepping back due to some medical complications that require my full attention," Caldwell said. "I want to thank Stephen Ross, Chris Grier, Coach Flores and the rest of the organization for the support they have given me and my family.
