Overview
- Head coach Liam Coen said the staff will scheme Travis Hunter open and make him the No. 1 option more often starting in Week 7 at Wembley.
- Through six games, Hunter has 20 receptions for 197 yards on 31 targets and has played 62.8% of offensive snaps and 38.8% on defense.
- The shift follows drops by leading receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and tight end Brenton Strange’s placement on injured reserve with a hip injury.
- Hunter’s usage has skewed to short targets, including a season-low 15 yards in Week 6, despite earlier explosive plays of 44 and 28 yards.
- Coaches are weighing defensive snap reductions to prioritize his offensive impact as they manage his rare two-way workload.
