Coen Signals More Offensive Snaps for Travis Hunter

An incremental plan to increase Hunter's offensive snaps aims to boost scoring without abandoning his cornerback rotation.

Overview

  • Head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday the Jaguars will "look at giving" Travis Hunter more offensive snaps for Week 3 as the staff searches for answers after offensive struggles.
  • Through two games Hunter has played roughly 66 defensive snaps, about 58% of Jacksonville's defensive plays, and only about 9–11 offensive snaps total.
  • Jacksonville is using a planned cornerback rotation that splits snaps among Hunter, Buster Brown and Jarrian Jones rather than making Hunter an every‑play defender.
  • Coaches cite Hunter's 2025 season‑ending right knee injury and missed repetitions with quarterback Trevor Lawrence as reasons for easing him into a fuller offensive role.
  • The change responds to public scrutiny over the premium draft capital spent for Hunter and could alter target distribution in Week 3 against New England if the Jaguars follow through.
