3 takeaways from Day 17 of Jaguars' training camp: Injury updates and OL competition

Let's take a look at the three big takeaways from Day 17 of Jacksonville Jaguars' training camp. The Jacksonville Jaguars were back on the practice field on Tuesday as they enter their final week of the preseason. With a joint practice against the Dolphins on the horizon, Tuesday's practice was a bit lighter, but nonetheless, we have our three takeaways from what took place. New Jaguars' DT Khalen Saunders takes the practice field Just a few days after the news broke that the Jaguars were trading for Khalen Saunders, he was on the practice field on Tuesday and was wearing No. 68. Saunders is an experienced player, having appeared in 68 regular-season games while making 32 starts. He's also played in some big games, winning two Super Bowls in Kansas City. The addition of Saunders boosts the depth of the defensive tackle position and provides another run-stuffing presence. Saunders could fill a rotational role behind DaVon Hamilton. "A guy that we played against twice last year in Tampa that I've got respect for as a vet that's played a lot of meaningful downs in this league," Coen said. "Has won Super Bowls. Has been on teams that know how to win, and also, there's no question that he can help us in the middle, there at times. He's hard to double-team and move in there at times and also has some ability to redirect and has some initial quick. I do believe that he will help add some meaningful competition and depth in that room." Injury updates After practice, Liam Coen provided several injury updates. Both Travis Hunter and Tyson Campbell were practicing in some capacity on Tuesday. According to John Shipley of Jaguars on SI, Hunter went through stretch and then individual drills with the defensive backs. He also participated in the walkthrough portion but was not a part of the 7-on-7s or full-speed sessions. Coen called both Hunter and Campbell day-to-day. Back at practice, going through team drills were Arik Armstead, Maason Smith, Anton Harrison, and Chuma Edoga. Not participating was Wyatt Milum, who Coen said was week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Caleb Ransaw remains week-to-week as well. Competition at right guard As Coen said recently, there is competition taking place across the offensive line, but at right guard in particular is where things seem to be heating up. According to Mia O'Brien, Chuma Edoga and Patrick Mekari were rotating reps at that position. While it has been presumed that Mekari would step into that role, Edoga impressed early on in training camp while Mekari was sidelined. On the most recent unofficial depth chart, the starting right guard role was written as Mekari or Edgoa. Whoever doesn't win the job could end up as the Jaguars' starting right tackle over Anton Harrison. Both Edoga and Mekari have tackle experience at the NFL level.

Spurs' Carter Bryant honors family member with jersey number selection

Rookie Carter Bryant will begin his career in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs with a new jersey number after wearing No. 9 as a freshman last season at Arizona. Bryant wore it in various events before joining the Wildcats, such as the McDonald's All-American Game and the Pangos All-American Camp. He was forced to change it upon joining the Spurs, with it retired to honor Hall of Famer Tony Parker. The 14th pick also wore a few other numbers, though each one was taken on the team. He opted to go with No. 11, which is the same number his uncle wore. "I wanted nine," Bryant said. "Obviously, Tony Parker has nine retired. (De'Aaron) Fox has four. Steph Castle has five. Dylan (Harper) got two. I was a Kawhi fan, so I was trying to get the two. Vic (Wembanyama) got one, so then I went through all of the numbers I liked and which ones looked good. My uncle ended up wearing No. 11 playing pro volleyball overseas, so I went with 11." Bryant helped the Wildcats to the Sweet 16, averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and one assist on 37.1% shooting from 3-point range. He scored in double figures five times, including a season-high-tying 14 points, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks on Jan. 27. The 19-year-old logged six appearances with the Spurs in summer league, averaging 7.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists on 28.6% shooting from the field. He wrapped up his stay with a 16-point, five-rebound performance on July 17. Bryant has ingratiated himself well within the local community after volunteering at a couple of events this offseason. The team was excited to add him and is eager to watch him hit the court.

Pelicans' Derik Queen chooses new jersey number to begin NBA career

New Orleans Pelicans rookie Derik Queen will have a new jersey number next season after previously wearing No. 25 for much of his basketball career. Queen donned that number last season as a freshman at the University of Maryland and during his tenure at the Montverde Academy in Central Florida. He even wore it while playing AAU basketball, leading Team Thrill to the Under Armour Association U-17 spring championship in 2023. With No. 25 currently occupied by Trey Murphy III, Queen opted to change to No. 22. It isn't exactly clear why Queen chose No. 22, but it was one of the closest open numbers to his longtime preference. Queen was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, averaging 16.5 points, nine rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 36 games on 52.6% shooting from the field. He helped lead the Terrapins to their first Sweet 16 appearance since 2016. The 13th pick debuted with the Pelicans in the NBA Summer League, averaging 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2.3 assists and one block in three appearances. He registered a double-double in each appearance, including a 17-point, 10-rebound effort against Portland on July 15. The Pelicans announced on July 18 that Queen would miss at least 12 weeks after undergoing surgery to address a torn ligament in his left wrist sustained against the Trail Blazers. After an encouraging run over the summer, Queen and the team will be hopeful for a speedy recovery.
