JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaguars defensive end and team captain Josh Hines-Allen had a special helper for the coin toss.
Hines-Allen brought his 8-year-old son, Wesley, to midfield as part of the NFL’s “Crucial Catch” program, which is dedicated to fighting cancer and saving lives. Wesley was an honorary captain two months after completing treatment for pediatric cancer.
Wesley was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia in December and underwent chemotherapy for six months.
