SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Carolina Panthers special teams coordinator Bruce DeHaven has decided to step down from his position and move into an advisory role with the team while continuing his battle with prostate cancer.The team announced Sunday that Thomas McGaughey has been promoted to special teams coordinator and Chase Blackburn to special teams assistant.DeHaven will return to Buffalo, New York, to receive cancer treatments with the hopes of returning to the team as an adviser in mid-September.The 67-year-old DeHaven was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2015 before his 29th season as an NFL assistant coach. He previously took a leave of absence in May of 2015, but returned for Carolinas NFC championship season.Coach Ron Rivera said DeHaven approached him about the decision to leave as coordinator after Thursday nights preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens.He felt now was an opportunity to transition as far as our special teams were concerned so it would be seamless, Rivera said. He did not want to be a distraction. He wanted to go quietly with the intention of coming back in the fall.Under DeHaven, Panthers kicker Graham Gano scored a franchise-record 146 points. Gano converted 30 field goals, including two game-winners, and was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month in November.Returner Ted Ginn Jr. ranked second in the NFC and fifth in the NFL averaging 10.3 yards per punt return.Rivera said DeHaven epitomizes the teams motto of Keep Pounding, which came about when former linebackers coach Sam Mills was battling cancer.Panthers long snapper J.J. Jansen said Sunday was a tough day for all who have a connection to Carolinas special teams.He has been rock solid, Jansen said. He has been a good man and great mentor to all of us. The way he has handled and conducted himself (since learning about the cancer), you almost forget about it. You wouldnt have noticed a difference in the way he conducted himself.Panthers safety Colin Jones said he was surprised to learn DeHaven was leaving the team for treatments.You never heard Bruce complain at all, Jones said.DeHaven did not attend practice Sunday.McGaughey will assume a full special teams coordinator role immediately, according to Rivera. He was hired as Carolinas special teams assistant in February. He has 10 years of NFL coaching experience.McGaughey spent time with the San Francisco 49ers as special teams coordinator prior to coming to Carolina. The 49ers ranked second in the league with four blocked field goals and were eighth in punt coverage. He previously coached with the Chiefs, Broncos and Giants as an assistant.He has jumped right in and is very capable, Jones said.Blackburn joined the staff as an intern earlier this year.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Clearance Air Max Outlet Nike Air Max Cheap Wholesale .

Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons. The unbeaten and fourth-ranked Washington Huskies are enjoying their best ranking since the end of the 2000 season, but they are heading into what their coach calls their toughest test of the season.Washington (7-0, 4-0 Pac-12) plays at 17th-ranked Utah (7-1, 4-1) on Saturday afternoon, and Rice-Eccles Stadium will be rocking, further fueled by the energy of having ESPNs College GameDay program on campus.Rice-Eccles has been a great venue this year, said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, whose team is tied atop the Pac-12 South with Colorado. We have had great support from our fans that makes it a tough place to play for opponents. We need that to be the case this weekend, and we know they will be loud.Washington is coming off its 10th consecutive victory, a 41-17 win over Oregon State at Husky Stadium last week. The Huskies have defeated every opponent this season by at least 24 points, except for an overtime victory at Arizona.Washington has the top-rated defense in the Pac-12 (14.6 points allowed per game), leads the country with in turnover margin (plus-2.0 per game), has the nations No. 2-rated passer (Jake Browning, 199.6 efficiency rating) and the top rusher in the conference (Myles Gaskin, 103.9 yards per game).The Huskies have outscored their opponents 200-24 in the first half.This will by far be our toughest test so far, Washington coach Chris Petersen said of Utah.I know their fans will be really excited. Thats usually what happens. I think there was going to be really good energy in that stadium whether GameDay came or not. This probably just pours a little more energy into the stadium.A prime storyline is first-year starting Utah quarterback Troy Williams. He began his career at Washington, but transferred after the 2014 season, which was Petersens first in Seattle.I told them Id be back. I kept my promise, Williams said of when he left the Huskies.But I built everlasting friendships ... those are my brothers up there. I have the utmost respect for all of them. I just want to show people what I can do and continue to showcase my talents. It just gives it a little extra fire. It was hard going through everything I went through up there.Im just real, real excited to get out there this weekend.Williams has passed for only 221 yards in the past two games -- in a wet--and-windy day at Oregon State and last Saturday at UCLA -- but he hasnt had to do much, other than keep the defense honest with some deep passes.ddddddddddddUtah senior running back Joe Williams has become one of the best stories in college football, coming out of a five-week retirement due to injuries, rushing for 179 yards against the Beavers and a school-record 332 vs. the Bruins. The coaching staff convinced him to come back after other injuries ravaged the position.We were down to our last running back and all of a sudden hes back in the lineup and a huge plus for us, Whittingham said. He pulled away from those UCLA defenders, and they have fast guys. They hand-pick who they want for that secondary and he outran them all.Browning, a sophomore, has completed 118 of 172 passes for 1,709 yards, with 26 touchdowns and only two interceptions. Wide receivers John Ross (115 yards receiving against Oregon State) and Dante Pettis (112) last week became the first pair of Husky wideouts to go over 100 yards receiving in the same game since 2002.Gaskin, a sophomore, already has more than 2,000 career rushing yards.Utahs offense hasnt been dynamic for much of the season, but the Utes are coming off a 52-point effort against a talented UCLA defense. Washingtons is even better. The Huskies have future NFL guys all over their defense -- including free safety Budda Baker, cornerback Sidney Jones and defensive tackle Vita Vea.UW defensive end/outside linebacker Joe Mathis (team-high five sacks) missed last weeks game because of a foot injury and doesnt seem likely to play this week. Utah free safety Marcus Williams, a 2015 first-team all-conference pick, did not play last week at UCLA because of an undisclosed injury and is not listed on this weeks depth chart.If the Huskies still have skeptics, it is because they have not played a team that is currently ranked (Stanford was No. 7 at the time of the meeting but has since fallen way off).I think this has been a pretty focused crew all along, Petersen said.They go to work and practice hard. I will tell you, we expect a lot out of these guys when they come in this building. We do not go through the motions.
