Overview

  • Jacksonville’s James Gladstone and Liam Coen said Wednesday that Travis Hunter will play both receiver and cornerback in 2026.
  • Gladstone said his cornerback workload will rise, though the team still plans to use him on offense.
  • Hunter will be limited in offseason work during LCL rehab and is expected to be full-go for training camp.
  • As a rookie he played seven games before the knee injury, logging 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown with 15 tackles and three pass breakups.
  • The shift reflects roster needs after Greg Newsome II’s exit and a deeper receiver group with Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington, as some observers question the durability of a sustained two-way role.
