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.

Jaguars to Increase Travis Hunter's Offensive Role After Week 2 Loss

Following a 20-13 loss to the Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen announced plans to increase Travis Hunter's offensive involvement in Week 3. Hunter has played only 9% of offensive snaps and 58% of defensive snaps in his first two games, catching just one pass for eight yards. Coen cited the team's fourth-quarter offensive struggles as a reason to re-evaluate Hunter's usage, though he emphasized the need to balance his two-way role. The Jaguars will face the New England Patriots on Sunday, with Coen noting that Hunter's increased offensive presence may require adjustments to target distribution among other receivers like Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr.

Jaguars Narrow Week-1 O-Line Identity as Camp Closes In on Week 1

Day 17 of Jaguars camp pointed toward a Week 1 starting offensive line: Anton Harrison at left tackle, Emmanuel Pregnon at left guard, Robert Hainsey at center, Ezra Cleveland at right guard, and Walker Little at right tackle, with Cole Van Lanen’s health the key variable for Week 1. Travis Hunter remained largely at cornerback, signaling the team’s priority on defense early; Nate Boerkircher turned in his best practice at tight end with solid red-zone work alongside Trevor Lawrence. Jakobi Meyers was sidelined, prompting Josh Cameron and CJ Williams to get first-team reps, while Matt Dickerson delivered the play of the day with a read, interception, and return for a TD on a screen. The Jaguars wore no pads, emphasized passing and red-zone drills, and a few players (Mekari, Kiser, LeQuint Allen, Meyers, Regis) were not seen on Sunday.

Jaguars Camp Notebook: Hunter on Defense, Etienne Exit Sparks Run-Game Makeover

Albert Breer’s Jaguars training camp notebook highlights Trevor Lawrence’s growing efficiency in a streamlined offense, Jakobi Meyers enabling better role fit, and Travis Hunter being deployed primarily on defense with offensive packages. The run game is expected to shift after Travis Etienne Jr.’s departure, led by Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. on a more physical, inside-run approach. The offensive line has right-guard questions with Emmanuel Pregnon emerging, while the defense shows depth and potential new linebacker schemes under coach Campanile, as Arik Armstead and Travon Walker shape internal rotations and the secondary develops behind injuries to Jourdan Lewis.
