Jaguars scratch Travis Hunter ahead of preseason game against the Saints
Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner out of Colorado and No. 2 pick in last spring's NFL draft, had missed practice in recent days because of what team officials have described as an upper-body injury.
The Jaguars also scratched veteran wide receiver Dyami Brown, although it was not immediately clear why.
Hunter and Brown both played in Jacksonville's preseason opener last week, a 31-25 loss to Pittsburgh.
Hunter, a rare, two-way player, caught two passes for 9 yards and also participated in eight plays as a defensive back.
Brown had 7 yards rushing on an end-around.

Man arrested for allegedly racially abusing Semenyo has been given conditional bail
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — A man arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during a Premier League game has been released on conditional bail, police said Monday. Merseyside Police said the 47-year-man from Liverpool cannot attend a soccer match in Britain or go within one mile (1.6 kilometers) of a soccer stadium in Britain while on bail. The man was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offense after Semenyo, who is Black, reported to the referee that he was racially abused by a spectator in the first half of Bournemouth's match against Liverpool at Anfield on Friday. The man was removed from the stadium soon after the alleged incident, which led to a brief stoppage in play. An investigation 'remains ongoing and we continue to work closely with the club,' Merseyside Police said. On Saturday, Semenyo, a 25-year-old Ghana international, thanked his Bournemouth teammates, Liverpool's players and the soccer community as a whole for the 'overwhelming messages of support' he received after reporting that he was racially abused.

Kansas Jayhawks' new stadium symbolizes program's resurgence, though work on both still remains
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The construction cranes that have been working on a new stadium for the Kansas Jayhawks the past two years might just as well be emblematic of the program as a whole. No longer a downtrodden eyesore, the Jayhawks are suddenly competitive again, even if they remain a work in progress. Just like the stadium. The vast majority of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium has been finished, including the east side and end zones, though the west side stands from the old facility will remain until the next offseason. In much the same way, the Jayhawks have become Big 12 contenders under Lance Leipold, though they showed during a 5-7 finish last year that they are still building. 'As we come into this stadium,' Leipold said ahead of Saturday night's opener against Fresno State, 'we need our fanbase to be there as well, to truly make it impactful. We need people there to do it. 'Now, on the flip side, it's our responsibility to play a brand — a style — of effective football that people want to come and see,' Leipold continued, 'and create a game-day environment that is special, that people want to partake in.' After back-to-back bowl games, and going 9-4 two years ago, Kansas slid a bit last year, a season of high expectations that was sullied by a spectacularly poor start. The Jayhawks lost five of their first six games while playing home games at Children's Mercy Park, the home of MLS club Sporting Kansas City, and Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Chiefs — which is just across the state line in Missouri, adding to the homeless feeling Kansas no doubt felt. But the Jayhawks finished with a flurry, beating ranked foes Iowa State, Colorado and BYU in consecutive weeks. And while they failed to make a bowl game, they have not only confidence but momentum as they head into a new season. 'This program is now relevant,' Leipold said. The Jayhawks have a stadium to reflect it, too. JD6 is back Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels has been labeled a Heisman Trophy candidate and a bust, a spectacular athlete who is capable of doing just about anything and an injury-prone QB who struggles with his decision-making. The reality is probably somewhere in between, but one thing is certain: If Daniels has a big final season in Lawrence, so will the Jayhawks. Running back room Daniel Hishaw Jr. is first in line to replace Devin Neal, the school's departed career rushing record-holder, but he has dealt with injuries throughout his career. Iowa transfer Leshon Williams, who only played three games last season because of his own injury troubles, will also get plenty of reps in the backfield. What about the wideouts One of the big unknowns in Lawrence is who will replace the top four wide receivers from last year. Alabama transfer Emmanuel Henderson Jr. and Albany transfer Levi Wentz have gotten rave reviews from Kansas wide receivers coach Terrence Samuel, while Columbia transfer Bryson Canty and Ball State transfer Cam Pickett could start games as well. Coaching turnover Jim Zebrowski was promoted to offensive coordinator after Jeff Grimes left for the same job at Wisconsin, while D.K. McDonald has taken over the defense following the retirement of longtime coordinator Brian Borland. Schedule situation After opening with Fresno State and Wagner, the Jayhawks head to Missouri for a matchup with their most bitter rival. If they get through those three games, their first two Big 12 games against West Virginia and Cincinnati are at home. There are road trips to Texas Tech and Iowa State on the schedule but the Jayhawks host rival Kansas State on Oct. 25. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 all season. Sign up here.
