Mike Vrabel said Monday that assistant Terrell Williams will coach against the Bears.

Titans assistant Terrell Williams will be the acting head coach against the Bears in Saturday’s exhibition opener at Soldier Field, head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters on Monday.

“I do think it’ll be a great opportunity,” he said. “Well-deserved. It’s something that I wanted to do.”

The move was not made because Vrabel had to leave the team. Vrabel said he’ll still be around the Titans and help out as an assistant. Williams will run things Friday-Sunday.

“This is a great opportunity for him and for us, and everybody involved,” he said.
