Jaguars DE Josh Hines-Allen says his 7-year-old son Wesley is recovering from leukemia
Hines-Allen and his wife, Kaitlyn, provided the news in a three-minute video released on social media. They said the diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia came after Wesley spiked a fever and started bleeding from a tooth days before last year's season finale, which Hines-Allen missed for personal reasons.
'It just kind of like hit me, and then nothing else mattered after that,' Hines-Allen said in the video.
Wesley underwent chemotherapy for six months. He has a few treatments remaining before he gets to ring the bell next month at Nemours Children's Health in Jacksonville.
'Wesley is doing great," Kaitlyn said in the video. "He's swimming every day. He's running around. He's playing sports.'
Added Hines-Allen: 'He's got back to being the big brother that he is.'
Hines-Allen and his wife also announced Friday that their nonprofit foundation, Four One For All, will launch a season-long campaign called "Four One For Hope" to give back to four cancer-focused non-profits each month of the NFL regular season.
Money raised will go to Nemours Children's Hospital in September, the American Cancer Society in October, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Jacksonville in October and the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation in December.
'Our goal is to ensure that families going through something similar feel the same level of love and support as we did,' Hines-Allen said in a statement.
Hines-Allen is a two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher who has 53 career sacks in six seasons in Jacksonville, two shy of the franchise record held by Tony Brackens. He signed a five-year, $141.25 million contract that included $76.5 million fully guaranteed before the 2024 season.

Lottie Woad gets exciting prize money for first LPGA event win; Here's how much golfer earned at Women's Scottish Open
Lottie Woad made her professional debut on Sunday after being denied the opportunity to take prize money following two outstanding amateur performances earlier this month. England's Lottie Woad holds the trophy after winning the Women's Scottish Open at the Dundonald Links, Irvine, Scotland, Sunday July 27, 2025. (Steve Welsh/PA via AP)(AP) Women's Scottish Open: How much money did Lottie Woad receive? The 21-year-old Woad earned $300,000 for winning the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open by a margin of three strokes. Woad's win came just a few weeks after she had to relinquish the $79,000 winner's check after winning the KPMG Women's Irish Open, a Ladies European Tour tournament. She would have received $485,200 if she had tied for third place at the Amundi Evian Championship, one of the five LPGA majors. At her professional debut, Woad defeated Dundonald Links at Gailes by three strokes. This was her second victory in her past three starts. Calling it a 'pretty good outcome', Woad remarked, 'Definitely wasn't expecting to win my first event, but I knew I was playing well.'

Who is Lottie Woad? Former Florida State star wins women's Scottish Open in professional debut
English golfer Lottie Woad, 21, made her professional debut in the ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open with an incredible three-shot win. After completing at 21 under par at Dundonald Links, Woad won her first LPGA Tour championship in her professional debut. She is a rising star in women's golf owing to her dominant performance, which was capped by a final-round score of 68. England's Lottie Woad plays off the 1st tee during the Women's Scottish Open at the Dundonald Links, Irvine, Scotland, Sunday July 27, 2025. (Steve Welsh/PA via AP)(AP) Woad closed with a 4-under 68 for a three-shot triumph, without faltering when Hyo Joo Kim charged on a windy day at Dundonald Links. In her professional debut, Woad became the second player in three years to secure a victory on the LPGA Tour, succeeding Rose Zhang at the 2023 Mizuho Americas Open at Liberty National. With her final score of 21-under 267, Woad took home $300,000. "I think it's quite hard to do that but very special to win in my first event. Everyone was chasing me today and managed to maintain the lead and played really nicely down the stretch and hit a lot of good shots,' she said. After making four birdies in seven holes to start, Kim and Woad shared the lead after the South Korean made birdies on the eleventh and twelfth holes. Woad remained composed, dropping just one stroke in the final round and making birdies on the 13th and 14th holes to take back control. She made birdie and celebrated quietly after finishing with a three-quarter wedge over a meandering burn to two feet. Her triumph will undoubtedly draw attention from all women's golfers.

Three weeks ago, Woad clinched the Women's Irish Open on the Ladies European Tour, which put her at the top of the women's amateur rankings. She was one shot away from a playoff in the LPGA major Evian Championship in France. The 21-year-old made the decision to become pro and skip her final year at Florida State after earning sufficient points for an LPGA card. Now that she has an LPGA title—the Women's Scottish Open is co-sanctioned with the LET—she is traveling south to Royal Porthcawl, Wales, for the Women's British Open. Woad first gained notoriety last year when she dominated the Augusta National Women's Amateur by making birdies on three of the final four holes. She claimed that the pressure was greater than what she experienced during her professional debut. 'I think Augusta, that was the biggest tournament I played in at the time and was kind of my big win,' she said.

Tadej Pogačar shows unrivaled audacity to win his fourth Tour de France title in style
PARIS (AP) — The roads were dangerously slippery after heavy rain. A fourth Tour de France title was all but won anyway, so finishing safely in the pack would do fine for Tadej Pogačar. Especially considering Sunday's final stage had already been neutralized for safety reasons and he just had to complete the race. HT Image Surely there was no need to launch a seemingly pointless attack and risk crashing? But holding back or being cautious rarely appeals to Pogačar, the 26-year-old cycling star from Slovenia. He clinched his fourth Tour title in inimitably daring style on Sunday and further cemented his place among cycling's greats. Even though he really did not need to, and risked falling on oil slick-wet roads, Pogačar simply could not help himself. Against all logical opinion, he tried winning Sunday's 21st and final stage with trademark uphill attacks, only to fall short of the stage win itself. 'In the end I found myself in the front, even though I didn't have the energy,' said Pogačar, who won the Tour last year and in 2020 and 2021. 'Just speechless to win the Tour de France, this one feels especially amazing," Pogačar added. 'Just super proud that I can wear this yellow jersey.' Two-time Tour champion Jonas Vinegaard finished the overall race 4 minutes, 24 seconds behind Pogačar in second place and Florian Lipowitz was 11 minutes adrift in third. Belgian rider Wout van Aert won the 21st and last stage, which broke with tradition and featured three climbs of Montmartre hill. Because of heavy rain and the risk of crashes, organizers had earlier neutralized the times 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the end, effectively giving Pogačar the victory — providing he crossed the finish line. He did the opposite of what almost every rider would do with victory a near certainty. As the rain teemed down, he set a tremendous pace in the Montmartre climbs as fans cheered all along the cobbled Rue Lepic, with flags and fans hanging out of windows. Only five riders were left with Pogačar on the third ascension of the 1.1-kilometer Montmartre hill. After fending off American Matteo Jorgenson, he was caught cold near the top as Van Aert launched a stunning attack to drop — yes, drop! — Pogačar, the world's best climber, on the steepest section. 'Hats off to Wout, he was incredibly strong," Pogačar said. Van Aert rolled back down for a prestigious stage win on the famed Champs-Élysées. Pogačar looked weary as he crossed the line in fourth place, 19 seconds behind. But then it was time to celebrate title No. 4. Although don't expect Pogačar to make any headlines on that front. 'Everyone celebrates in their own way, I just want peace and some nice weather, not like here today," Pogačar said. "Just to enjoy some quiet days at home.' Only four riders have won the showcase race five times: Belgian Eddy Merckx, Spaniard Miguel Induráin and Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault. Pogačar won four stages this year to take his Tour tally to 21 and 30 at major races, including six at the Giro d'Italia and three at the Spanish Vuelta. The UAE Team Emirates leader praised his teammates. 'I think the second week was the decisive moment," Pogačar said. 'We took more advantage.' Lipowitz, meanwhile, secured his first career podium at a Grand Tour, the alternative name given to the three major races. His performance, following his third-placed finish last month at the Critérium du Dauphiné, suggests the 24-year-old German rider could challenge in the near future. Traditionally, the last stage is largely processional with riders doing laps around Paris. The Tour broke with tradition after the success of the Paris Olympics road race, which also took in Montmartre, famous for its Sacré-Coeur basilica. It was the fifth straight year where Pogačar and Vingegaard finished 1-2 at the Tour. Vingegaard was second in 2021, before beating Pogačar the next two years with the Slovenian second. When Pogačar reclaimed his title last year, Vingegaard was runner-up. 'We've raised the level of each other much higher and we push each other to the limit," Pogačar said. 'I must say to him, big, big respect.' Pogačar has also won the Giro d'Italia, doing so last year to become the first cyclist to secure the Giro and Tour double in the same season since the late Marco Pantani in 1998. But Pogačar has not yet won the Spanish Vuelta, whereas Anquetil, Hinault and Merckx won all three major races. When Pogačar won the hilly fourth stage of this year's race, it was the 100th professional victory of his stellar career, all events combined. Pogačar is also the world road race champion. His dominant victory at the Critérium continued his excellent form the spring classics. After winning stage 4 of the Tour, Pogačar added three more stage wins, including an emphatic uphill time trial. He would love to win the Paris-Roubaix classic and Milan San-Remo. The 259.2-kilometer (161-mile) Roubaix race is called 'The Hell of the North' because of its dangerous cobblestone sections. Pogačar debut appearance at the one-day classic this year saw him seeking to become the first Tour champion to win it since Hinault in 1981. But powerful Dutch rider Mathieu van der Poel won it for the third straight year. Pogačar has also yet to win Milan-San Remo, with Van der Poel also beating him there this year. Expect a fired-up Pogačar next year at Roubaix and Milan-San Remo. But it's unsure whether he'll tackle the Vuelta. ___ Tour de France coverage: and
