Travis Hunter Records Receiving Touchdown and Interception in London Loss

The rare two-way display intensifies debate over whether the Jaguars will shift his snap usage amid roster depth and durability concerns.

Overview

  • Hunter caught a seven-yard touchdown and on the next defensive series intercepted C.J. Stroud in the end zone during the Jaguars’ 34-31 loss to the Texans at Wembley on Sunday.
  • He finished with four catches for 59 yards, three tackles and the interception while playing heavily on defense and sparingly on offense, logging roughly 62 defensive snaps to nine offensive snaps.
  • Hunter’s wife, Leanna Lenee, publicly tagged Shannon Sharpe on Instagram to insist he be called a “TWO WAY” player, and Sharpe replied on his Nightcap podcast that Hunter should be used as an every-down corner with situational offensive packages.
  • Coach Liam Coen praised Hunter’s impact and said the team will build on the performance, but the Jaguars have not announced any concrete change to his snap allocation and the issue remains unresolved.
  • The feat is rare in the modern NFL and the result raises two key questions to watch after Jacksonville’s bye week: whether the team will increase Hunter’s offensive role and how the club will manage his workload to limit injury risk.
