Patriots DC Terrell Williams away from rookie preseason camp due to 'health scare'

New England Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams has stepped away from rookie minicamp, citing what he called a "health scare." Williams told reporters on Friday via Zoom that he was working remotely for now, but did not give a return timeline.

"I want to make it clear, I'm away from the building, but I'm not away from the team," Williams said.

Earlier on Friday, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters in a press conference on Friday that Williams was "working through a medical condition," and that they were in "constant communication." He added that linebackers coach Zak Kuhr would be taking over in Williams' absence.
