Jaguars Double Down on Travis Hunter’s Two-Way Role After Win Over Texans

The rookie logged heavy snaps in a 17-10 win, reflecting Jacksonville’s monitored two-way plan.

Overview

  • In Week 3, Travis Hunter played 41 snaps on defense and 35 on offense in a 17-10 victory over the Texans, his first game with a heavier defensive workload.
  • He posted a career-high six tackles with multiple key stops in coverage and added a single 21-yard reception that moved the chains.
  • Hunter saw his first special-teams action of the season, taking two snaps on Houston punts.
  • Coach Liam Coen has signaled no hard cap on Hunter’s workload after an 85-snap outing against the Bengals, with usage adjusted through close performance monitoring.
  • Early production has been modest and a missed stretch of training camp is cited as a factor, as outside voices including Travis Kelce, Steve Smith Sr., and Brian Baldinger urge Jacksonville to consider a single-position focus.
