• Vrabel said additional medical tests are planned and emphasized that Williams should focus on his health, with further updates expected later this week.
• Zak Kuhr is handling Williams' duties in practice and game-planning, reprising the role he filled during Williams' spring absence.
• The Patriots will announce how defensive play-calling will be handled for Sunday's game at Miami, with Vrabel declining to confirm specifics on Wednesday.
