Overview
- Hunter started at cornerback on Sunday and played 29 defensive snaps and 4 offensive snaps, finishing with one reception for 8 yards and one tackle.
- Coen confirmed there is no set offensive snap count and said Hunter “definitely will” play both ways with usage decided by matchups, game situation and his readiness.
- The Jaguars’ Week 1 depth chart listed Hunter as a starting cornerback and second-string wide receiver, reflecting training-camp reps that skewed heavily toward defense.
- Hunter missed the second half of 2025 after tearing the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee, had surgery in November and was cleared for the 2026 offseason and training camp.
- Jacksonville traded substantial 2025 and 2026 draft capital to take Hunter at No. 2 overall, so his defensive-first deployment and any week-to-week offensive role will shape long-term evaluation of that decision and the team’s roster use.
