Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen continues to support a two-way role for Travis Hunter despite training camp developments suggesting otherwise. While reports from Jacksonville indicate Hunter has taken reps exclusively at cornerback over the last two weeks, Coen maintains that the team still intends to use him on both sides of the ball.

Team staff noted that focusing on cornerback reps allows for better coaching and consistency in defensive assignments. Coen acknowledged that the specific distribution of offensive and defensive snaps remains undetermined, but reiterated that Hunter is viewed as a playmaker who the team aims to involve on offense.
