Teenager AJ Hurt closed out the U.S. Alpine championships by winning the giant slalom for her second title in a week’s span.

Hurt finished the two runs in a combined time of 2 minutes Jordan Howard Jersey Youth , 13.28 seconds on Monday. American teammate Foreste Peterson and Croatia’s Andrea Komsic tied for second and were 1.51 seconds behind Hurt’s winning time.

The 17-year-old Hurt won the Alpine combined last Wednesday and finished second in the super-G two days later.

Hurt had a big season in which she had six top-three finishes on the NorAm level, including two wins. The ski racer from the Squaw Valley area in California also made her World Cup debut last November in Killington, Vermont.

Chargers cornerback Trevor Williams injured his leg during the fourth practice of training camp Tuesday, potentially dealing another blow to Los Angeles' depth in the defensive secondary.

But coach Anthony Lynn is cautiously optimistic that his team's latest injury isn't serious.

Williams was hurt while defending receiver Mike Williams in a red zone drill. Trevor Williams had to be helped off the field by teammate Jahleel Addae.

After getting attention from the training staff, he left Jack Hammett Sports Complex on crutches with his left foot in a walking boot.

The injury and Williams' reaction to it were foreboding, but Lynn was hopeful he hasn't lost his starting cornerback for an extended period.

"You're holding your breath there Fred Warner Jersey 49ers ," Lynn said. "I think he sprained his ankle, but I don't think it's bad. I mean, it's the fourth day of training camp. Hell, we have coaches around here limping. Coaches are sore, so I can't imagine how the players feel."

After the Chargers' history with catastrophic injuries in the past few seasons, Lynn won't exhale until Williams undergoes further tests.

The Chargers are a popular pick to earn a playoff spot this fall Cheap Customized Jacksonville Jaguars Jerseys , but they already incurred serious injuries to two potential key contributors before training camp even began.

Los Angeles lost starting tight end Hunter Henry to a knee injury on a non-contact drill in May. The Chargers then lost long-injured former Pro Bowl cornerback Jason Verrett to a torn Achilles tendon during a conditioning test last week.

Verrett's most recent injury occurred at the brink of his comeback after missing most of the past two seasons. His newest setback "broke a lot of our hearts," Pro Bowl cornerback Casey Hayward said.

But Verrett's absence wasn't a disaster for the Chargers last season because of the surprising emergence of Williams, who stepped into a key role after catching on with the Chargers in 2016 as an undrafted free agent from Penn State.

Williams started five games as a rookie, and he started 15 more games last season opposite Hayward in the Chargers' opportunistic defensive secondary. He made the first two interceptions of his career along with 56 tackles and generally provided outstanding coverage.

"He'll bounce back," defensive tackle Brandon Mebane said of Williams. "Trevor is a great professional, and you know he's going to do whatever he can to get right back on the field. We're just going to wait on him and be patient."

The Bolts have been forced to do that quite a bit during Mebane's tenure. They lost a staggering number of man-games to injuries in San Diego during their final two seasons Byron Jones Jersey Elite , which were also the worst two seasons of Philip Rivers' 12-year tenure as their starting quarterback. Fans who followed the Chargers from San Diego to LA already know the Bolts went 5-11 in 2016 after losing Verrett, cornerback Brandon Flowers, linebacker Manti Te'o, receivers Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson and running back Danny Woodhead for extended periods.

Even after losing Verrett last week, the Chargers' secondary is fairly well stocked. Desmond King played extensively as a rookie last season, primarily as a nickel back Zack Greinke Jersey , while first-round pick Derwin James is expected to be an immediate contributor at safety alongside Addae, who started all 16 games last season.

"If Trevor's ankle is bad, then I would be concerned about the depth there," Lynn said. "But I'm also confident in those young guys behind him. They're stepping up and making plays in practice, and there's going to be a nice competition in that group."
