Overview

• The Jaguars’ unofficial Week 1 depth chart lists Hunter as a starting wide receiver opposite Brian Thomas Jr. and a backup cornerback behind Tyson Campbell and Jourdan Lewis.
• Following an August upper-body injury, Hunter has been cleared and is not on the initial injury report, setting up his NFL debut Sunday against the Panthers.
• Head coach Liam Coen said the staff is still finalizing snap distribution, leaving open whether Hunter plays offense, defense or both in the opener.
• General manager James Gladstone reaffirmed expectations that Hunter will impact both sides of the ball, using his versatility as a week-to-week game-planning variable.
• Jacksonville has a coordinated sports-science plan to manage his two-way workload, which in the preseason included 10 snaps on offense and 8 on defense in his lone appearance.
