Overview
- Hunter logged all 76 defensive snaps in the Week 4 win and did not take any offensive or special-teams snaps.
- Head coach Liam Coen praised Hunter’s effort and said the team avoided using him on offense because they could not risk losing him on defense.
- PFF tracking showed Hunter was targeted six times, allowed three catches for 21 yards, recorded two pass breakups, had an interception nullified by penalty, and produced three tackles.
- Coaching decisions reflect a risk calculation tied to Hunter’s recent knee recovery and the Jaguars’ thin cornerback depth after injuries to Buster Brown and Christian Braswell.
- The performance strengthens the case for Hunter’s defensive value but leaves unresolved how and when Jacksonville will regularly expand his offensive role given injury concerns and the team’s draft investment.
