FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Patriots will be without defensive coordinator Terrell Williams on Sunday afternoon as he remains away from the team with what was unfortunately revealed this week to be prostate cancer—but that doesn't mean he won't be there in spirit.
Head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Friday that Williams, 51, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and is "in the process of treatment and meeting with specialists [as they figure out] the best plan of attack to be able to attack this." In his absence, New England coaches and players were seen wearing shirts that read "T STRONG" with a ribbon across the chest in support of Williams ahead of their matchup against the Panthers.
