Jacksonville Jaguars list Travis Hunter as starting cornerback
Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars released their Week 1 depth chart, naming Travis Hunter as a starter at cornerback. Hunter will also serve as a backup wide receiver for the team. While the second-year player maintained his two-way status throughout the draft process, his primary assignment this season is on defense. Head coach Liam Coen confirmed the team intends to use Hunter on offense in specific packages, though defensive consistency remains the priority for his development. Hunter, who saw limited action last season due to a torn ACL that sidelined him for 10 games, is expected to maintain a role on both sides of the ball. His official inclusion as a starter reflects the franchise’s defensive plans, balancing his offensive potential with a heavy workload on the defensive unit.
