Patriots O-Line Coach Adrian Klemm To Miss Time With Medical Issue

FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots will be shorthanded on the coaching staff as they travel to Germany this week.

Head coach Bill Belichick announced Wednesday that offensive line coach Adrian Klemm is “going to be out for a little while” as he deals with an undisclosed medical issue.

Belichick confirmed Klemm’s absence is “health”-related but would not share details.

“I’m not going to comment on somebody’s personal medical status,” he said.

Klemm, a former Patriots offensive lineman, is in his first season as New England’s O-line coach. He spent last season at Oregon and previously coached lineman with the Pittsburgh Steelers and at UCLA and SMU.
