Overview

• The Jaguars listed Hunter as a starting wide receiver and backup cornerback on their official depth chart, embracing his dual-position role.
• Head coach Liam Coen expects an 80/20 offensive-to-defensive snap split and has been adjusting Hunter’s practice and game-day schedule with frequent logistics meetings.
• In the preseason opener at EverBank Stadium, Hunter took 10 snaps on offense and eight on defense, making two receptions for nine yards on his first two targets.
• ESPN’s Damien Woody argued that Hunter should focus primarily on offense to aid Trevor Lawrence, while Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson warned that preseason reps may not equate to regular-season performance.
• The Jaguars will continue to tweak Hunter’s workload through the remainder of the preseason as they assess the feasibility of a true two-way NFL player.
