Update 5/9/2025: ‘Eye-opening medical scare’ keeping Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams sidelined

New England Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams took the time to meet with the media on Friday afternoon, a few hours after head coach Mike Vrabel announced that he would be absent from rookie minicamp due to a “medical condition.” As Williams himself put it, the situation was quite drastic.

Referring to the event as “eye-opening” and “life-changing,” the 50-year-old did not provide any specifics of what had happened. He did, however, say that his medical situation developed during a spring break and that he currently is at his home in Detroit per his doctor’s orders.
