Overview
- Independent snap trackers show a clear defensive tilt in recent practices with one session limited to defense-only 11-on-11 reps and the following day recorded as 19 defensive snaps and two offensive snaps.
- The snap totals across consecutive days moved Hunter's camp totals to a substantial majority of defensive work, a change tracked and reported by multiple outlets using Michael DiRocco’s counts.
- On-field highlights from those defensive sessions included a recorded pass breakup and a near interception, demonstrating playmaking at cornerback even as offensive volume stayed small.
- Hunter continues to take limited offensive reps in 7-on-7 periods and on a handful of plays in team work, but the Jaguars say his weekly offensive usage will vary and remain subject to game-plan and health considerations.
- Coaches framed the shift as a development and health decision designed to give Hunter uninterrupted defensive reps to learn scheme details, protect his knee, and set clearer roles that could influence his Week 1 snaps.
