Overview

• Coen described a "likely uptick" in Hunter's defensive usage at Cincinnati as the team follows a gradual plan for two-way deployment.
• In Week 1, Hunter logged 48 snaps for Jacksonville — 42 at wide receiver and six at cornerback — finishing with six catches for 33 yards and one tackle.
• ESPN reported he is only the second NFL player in the past decade to record at least 30 offensive snaps and five defensive snaps in the same game.
• Cincinnati allowed 290 passing yards to Joe Flacco and the Browns in the opener, heightening the need to account for Hunter whenever he aligns at receiver.
• The Bengals also must be alert when Hunter rotates to cornerback, as his defensive appearances require attention from Joe Burrow’s offense and Cincinnati’s receivers.
