Jaguars Keep Travis Hunter at Corner as Two-Way Plan Remains Intact

Overview

• Coaches said this week they will keep Hunter focused on defense for now and are not abandoning the long-term plan to develop him as a two-way player.
• The Bengals game in Week 4 saw Hunter log a career-high 76 defensive snaps and no offensive snaps, marking a sharp flip from his rookie usage.
• Defensive coaches credit clear improvement in Hunter’s fundamentals, comfort and physicality, and the Jaguars’ defense leads the league in takeaways.
• Injuries to cornerbacks and Hunter’s 2025 LCL surgery have increased his defensive burden and prompted conservative limits on offensive exposure.
• Hunter was the No. 2 overall pick after a trade and was a two-way star in college, and the club says future offensive snaps will depend on his health, matchups and roster needs.
