Patriots Reassign Terrell Williams to New Role After Health Recovery

The New England Patriots are transitioning Terrell Williams from his role as defensive coordinator to a high-ranking position on head coach Mike Vrabel's staff. Williams missed the 2025 season due to prostate cancer but has been cleared to return. Inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr, who filled in during Williams' absence, is a leading candidate for the defensive coordinator position. This change comes as the Patriots look to restructure their coaching staff following a successful season.
