Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen clarifies Travis Hunter's offensive role

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen stated that wide receiver Travis Hunter will play on both offense and defense this season, though his offensive snap count will remain flexible. The team expects Hunter to contribute significantly on defense, but his role as a receiver will depend on week-to-week matchups and game-specific needs. Coen emphasized that the team does not have a set number of targets or plays planned for Hunter on the offensive side of the ball. While Hunter spent the majority of his training camp reps practicing with the defensive unit, the coaching staff intends to continue using him in blocking and route-running roles as necessary. The Jaguars are set to open their regular season against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. This marks the first game for Hunter since he missed time during the seventh week of last season.
