Jaguars Sit Travis Hunter on Defense After Halftime in 49ers Win

Liam Coen calls the second-half shift a personnel choice kept in-house.

Overview

  • Hunter played just nine defensive snaps with none after the break as Jacksonville beat San Francisco 26-21 to move to 3-1.
  • The rookie logged 36 snaps on offense and caught three passes for 42 yards, highlighted by a leaping 28-yard conversion on third-and-15.
  • Coen said the decision was based on personnel considerations and indicated Hunter will continue to get two-way opportunities depending on matchups and game flow.
  • Buster Brown returned from an ankle injury and handled secondary reps in Hunter’s place, with Jarrian Jones also in the cornerback mix.
  • Through four games, Hunter has 13 receptions for 118 yards with no touchdowns and limited defensive production, raising questions about his immediate two-way impact.
