Jaguars Keep Travis Hunter Primarily on Defense After Week 2 Shift

Limited offensive snaps and a 22-yard pass-interference that set up Denver’s go-ahead touchdown raise questions about whether he can be a regular two-way player.

Overview

  • In Week 2 against the Broncos, Hunter logged roughly 37 defensive snaps and only six to seven offensive snaps, confirming a defense-first deployment.
  • PFF and NBC snap tracking show Hunter played about 60 percent of Jacksonville’s defensive plays and roughly 10 percent of offensive plays in that game.
  • On Denver’s final drive Hunter was assessed a 22-yard pass-interference penalty on Courtland Sutton that put the Broncos at the 3-yard line and led to the go-ahead touchdown.
  • Coach Liam Coen said he remains open to using Hunter more on offense situationally, and Hunter said he accepts and will follow the coaches’ plan.
  • Hunter’s two-way college pedigree, the Jaguars’ No. 2 overall investment and his 2025 knee surgery make weekly snap splits and costly in-game errors key factors in judging whether Jacksonville will expand his offensive role.
