Jaguars List Travis Hunter as Week 1 Starting WR, Backup CB After Injury Clearance

The Week 1 depth chart points to an offense-first debut—starting at receiver, a reserve at cornerback.

Overview

  • Jacksonville confirmed the No. 2 pick is cleared for Sunday’s opener against the Panthers after a late-camp upper-body injury.
  • Head coach Liam Coen said the staff has not finalized Hunter’s exact deployment for Week 1, citing missed preseason time.
  • Team officials maintain a two-way plan, framing Hunter’s versatility as a competitive advantage that forces opponents to prepare for multiple looks.
  • With Tyson Campbell and Jourdan Lewis starting at cornerback, Hunter’s defensive snaps are expected to come in sub-packages and key situations.
  • Training camp usage was nearly 50/50 between offense and defense (364 total snaps), supported by a tailored practice, recovery and meeting schedule.
