Overview

• Hunter logged 44 of 63 snaps on offense and six on defense, finishing with six receptions for 33 yards and one tackle in a 26-10 victory.
• The Jaguars reiterated a week-to-week approach to his role, using him as a primary receiver with situational defensive snaps in the opener.
• Head coach Liam Coen said missed practices late in the preseason influenced the defensive plan and indicated his responsibilities are expected to grow.
• Jacksonville’s initial depth chart listed Hunter as a starting wide receiver and backup cornerback, aligning with his Week 1 deployment.
• If he evolves into a true two-way starter, it would be rare in the modern NFL; since 1980 only Deion Sanders, Champ Bailey and Antonio Cromartie have started at both positions in the same game.
