Jaguars Endorse Two-Way Travis Hunter After Chiefs Win, Practice-Claim Dispute

The rookie’s breakout catch refocuses a two-way experiment now facing scrutiny over conflicting accounts of his Colorado practice habits.

Overview

  • Jacksonville beat Kansas City 31-28 on Monday night while continuing to deploy Travis Hunter on offense and defense.
  • Hunter recorded three receptions for 64 yards, including a 44-yard contested grab that marked his best NFL receiving output.
  • Trevor Lawrence praised Hunter as “a special player,” with Chiefs corner Trent McDuffie telling him, “You’re changing the game, bro.”
