Jaguars Fine-Tune Travis Hunter’s Two-Way Role with Phased Rotations in Camp

A rotating schedule of position drills with capped snap counts manages his conditioning ahead of Jacksonville’s preseason opener.

Overview

  • The Jaguars’ first unofficial depth chart lists Hunter as a starting wide receiver and a backup outside cornerback, reflecting their commitment to his dual role.
  • He recorded four catches for 43 yards on 17 offensive snaps and played 21 defensive snaps in a recent camp scrimmage, a level of two-way deployment unseen since the 1960s.
  • Head coach Liam Coen has coordinated alternating practice periods and meeting rotations between offense and defense to balance Hunter’s conditioning and playbook learning.
  • Coen indicated he plans to limit Hunter to roughly 80 percent of offensive snaps to preserve his stamina for defensive duties.
  • Quarterback Trevor Lawrence expressed excitement for Hunter’s anticipated two-way debut in Saturday’s preseason game against the Steelers.
