Jaguars List Travis Hunter as Starting WR, Backup CB for Week 1

Coaches have not detailed his snap plan under the team’s tightly managed two-way program.

Overview

  • Hunter is cleared to play and not on the initial injury report, setting up his NFL debut Sunday against the Panthers.
  • Jacksonville’s unofficial depth chart names him a starting wideout opposite Brian Thomas Jr. and a reserve cornerback behind Tyson Campbell and Jourdan Lewis.
  • Head coach Liam Coen says the staff is still working through whether Hunter plays offense, defense or both in the opener after missing time with an upper-body injury.
  • General manager James Gladstone reiterates the team expects Hunter to affect both sides of the ball, leaning on the tactical edge of week-to-week unpredictability.
  • Camp work featured an almost even split between offense and defense, and the club has built a minute-by-minute regimen to manage workload as analysts question long-term two-way snap volume in the NFL.
