Patients overcoming pediatric illnesses were honored during Atlanta United's Pediatric Illness Awareness match against the Seattle Sounders on Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta United partnered with the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta to honor the strength and resiliency of patients during the match. Barzi, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, which caused him to have his leg amputated, walked on stage to hit the golden spike. He also designed a special scarf for the match that highlighted special moments of his life. Alejandro, who lives with sickle cell anemia, served as Atlanta United's honorary captain. Colton, who was diagnosed with b-cell acute lymphatic leukemia two years ago, rang the honorary bell at halftime. For him, it was a special ceremony that marked the end of his cancer treatment. And Rowan, an avid Atlanta United fan who recently had his appendix removed at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Arthur M. Blank Hospital, was the in-stadium graphic designer.

Jets roster move leaves position battle decided for now
The New York Jets made an under-the-surface roster move on Monday which could hold significance. The Jets claimed cornerback Ryan Cooper off of waivers from the Miami Dolphins. The corresponding move is worth noting. To make room for Cooper, pinter Kai Kroeger was released. Kroeger was one of two punters on New York's roster. He was competing with Austin McNamara for the starting job on special teams and now McNamara is the presumed starter for the Jets... as he's the team's only punter right now. McNamara signed with the Jets in March after competing for the Cincinnati Bengals' gig in training camp last year. Kroeger was a rookie undrafted free agent who punted at South Carolina for five seasons (2020-24). McNamara is known as a punter with a powerful leg, but he will still have to perform in training camp if he hopes to earn the starting job. He went undrafted out of Texas Tech last season and has yet to appear in a regular season game. Jets Wire will continue to provide updates throughout training camp.
