Jaguars plan to increase involvement of Travis Hunter in upcoming game

Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars aim to utilize two-way player Travis Hunter more on offense ahead of their home game against New England. In the previous two games, Hunter played a limited role, with just four and seven offensive snaps, respectively. Following struggles from receiver Brian Thomas Jr., who had two drops in a loss to Denver, there are calls for a change in strategy. Jaguars coach Liam Coen expressed the need to find better opportunities for Hunter, who has yet to be targeted on offense. The Jaguars carry a 1-1 record into the matchup with New England, and it comes after defensive adjustments were noted following their latest game.

What they're saying

"
The Jacksonville Jaguars need to get two-way standout Travis Hunter more involved on offense. A first-round draft pick who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2024, Thomas ranked second in the NFL with 10 drops last season and seemed to shy away from contact almost weekly. Days later, Hunter tore a ligament in his right knee in practice and missed the rest of the season.
