Overview

  • The Jaguars clarified their stance Wednesday as coach Liam Coen and GM James Gladstone said Travis Hunter will keep playing offense and defense in 2026.
  • Gladstone said Hunter’s workload at cornerback will rise compared with last season, while the team will still use him at wide receiver as needed.
  • The GM said Hunter is progressing in rehab from his torn LCL and is expected to be a full participant for training camp.
  • Jacksonville’s plan reflects roster math, with the cornerback group thinner after Greg Newsome’s departure and stronger depth at receiver featuring Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington.
  • Hunter’s rookie year ended after seven games with a knee injury following 324 offensive and 162 defensive snaps, producing 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown plus 15 tackles and three pass breakups, and some former players remain skeptical a heavy two-way load is sustainable.
