Overview

• Hunter logged 44 of 63 snaps on offense and six on defense, finishing with six receptions for 33 yards in a 26-10 victory over the Panthers.
• Head coach Liam Coen said limited defensive usage reflected missed late-preseason practices from an upper-body issue and indicated the role should grow.
• Team officials continue to frame his deployment as week to week, with league sources saying some games could feature him full time at both receiver and cornerback.
• The initial depth chart listed Hunter as a starting wideout and backup corner, aligning with an offseason plan that balanced two-way work but prioritized offense early.
• After the game Hunter said he “did my job” but “can do more and can do better,” and he debuted a new haircut to mark what he called a new chapter.
