Overview
- Coach Liam Coen confirmed on Thursday that the Jaguars will keep Hunter largely on one side of the ball while still preserving a small offensive package for him.
- Practice reports from the past two weeks show Hunter working exclusively at cornerback as he finishes rehab from a major knee injury.
- The Jaguars’ initial 53‑man roster lists Hunter as a primary cornerback with only secondary depth at wide receiver behind established starters.
- Analysts including ESPN’s Bill Barnwell warn that Hunter’s health and 2026 performance will decide if the club continues the two‑way experiment into 2027.
- Jacksonville opens its season on Sept. 13 and the team’s snap plans for Hunter will shape both his career path and the Jaguars’ attempt to fix a struggling secondary.
