FOXBOROUGH, Mass. —

New England Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, who stepped away from the team two weeks ago with a health issue, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

At a press conference on Friday, head coach Mike Vrabel said the 50-year-old Williams is in the process of treatment and meeting with specialists.

"You know how much Terrell means to me personally, to the people on this football team, so again, we want to send our regards and just publicly let everyone know that's what he's dealing with," Vrabel said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with him."

He did not provide a timetable for Williams' return to the team, but says the veteran coach plans to be treated here in Massachusetts. This content is imported from Twitter. You may be able to find the same conten
