Jaguars are taking a cautious approach with 2-way star Travis Hunter in preseason game at the Saints
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to be cautious with two-way star Travis Hunter in their preseason game at New Orleans on Sunday. Although coach Liam Coen said Saturday that starters would play against the Saints, the Jaguars declined to commit to getting Hunter on the field after he sustained an upper-body injury during a scrimmage Thursday. Hunter is expected to go through pregame warmups inside the Superdome before the team determines his playing status. The Heisman Trophy winner was held out of a walk-through Friday as a precaution. He was on the field for the hourlong session and carried a play-calling sheet while following the action closely. Hunter played on offense and defense, totaling 18 snaps, in Jacksonville's preseason opener against Pittsburgh last Saturday. He also played both ways during a sloppy scrimmage five days later before crashing hard to the ground while defending a deep pass late. The scrimmage included 10 penalty flags, at least seven dropped passes, an interception and a few more balls that nearly got picked. It was the kind of performance that surely factored into Coen's decision to get his starters — including quarterback Trevor Lawrence — back on the field against the Saints. 'That's fatigue,' Coen said. 'That's lack of concentration when you're getting fatigued and tired. Every time we come out, they go hard.' Hunter was one of 10 players held out of practice this week because of injuries, joining right guard Chuma Edoga, right tackle Anton Harrison, defensive lineman Arik Armstead, defensive lineman Maason Smith, offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen, safety Caleb Ransaw, linebacker Jalen McLeod and cornerbacks Tyson Campbell and Montaric Brown. ___ AP NFL:

Javelin-throwing teen from Massachusetts is already winning big and getting scouted by colleges
A student-athlete from Boxford, Massachusetts is already getting the attention of colleges for his impressive javelin throwing skills. Adam Toleos, a 16-year-old student at Masconomet Regional High School, is following in the footsteps of his father and brother. His father, and current coach, Aaron has been throwing javelin for decades, in addition to coaching track at Gordon College and the Masconomet Youth Program. His brother James is a rising senior at Union College, where he throws javelin for their track and field team. "I like the family to be together and be doing activities together but also learning qualities from doing a sport," said Aaron Toleos. "Discipline and hard work and then when it starts paying off like it has for my kids over time, it really teaches them a lesson and makes me feel really rewarded for being there for them and being their coach." Toleos is taking the competition to a whole new level. After competing in the Junior Olympics, he's now a two-time All-American as a sophomore in high school, taking eighth place overall in the 17 and 18-year-old division with a 163-foot long toss. "I've got all the medals on the wall at my house," said Toleos. "It's just feeling like all my hard work has been paying off." Toleos, who's been throwing javelin since first grade, has big plans for his javelin throwing skills. He's already being scouted by Division I colleges and already hitting Division I lengths at 16 years old and about 100 feet off from Olympic averages. And one day he hopes to make it to the biggest stage in track and field. "Ultimate goal Olympics, definitely, it's been my dream since I was a kid, so that would be great," said Toleos.
