Jaguars sideline Travis Hunter on offense for first time as defensive needs dictate
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen used Travis Hunter exclusively on defense in a 22-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, marking the first time the 2024 Heisman winner played zero offensive snaps. Coen cited the absence of cornerbacks Montaric Brown and Christian Braswell as the reason for the decision, prioritizing Hunter's defensive impact over his two-way role. Hunter delivered a career-best performance, recording two pass breakups and a nullified interception, while the team continues to manage his usage amid questions about his offensive contribution.
