Jaguars Prep Travis Hunter for Two-Way Role
31 Mar
Summary
- Travis Hunter's recovery is ahead of schedule.
- Hunter will continue playing both cornerback and wide receiver.
- Practice strategy will blend offseason focus with in-season flexibility.
Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach Liam Coen has outlined a preliminary plan for Travis Hunter's return to practice. Hunter, who suffered a season-ending knee injury prior to Week 9, is reportedly ahead of his projected recovery timeline, with medical staff expressing significant optimism.
While official confirmation for Organized Team Activities (OTAs) remains pending, the team is focused on Hunter's well-being. It has been confirmed that Hunter will continue to play both cornerback and wide receiver. The roster's depth may lead to increased opportunities for him at cornerback, where he is currently slated to start opposite Montaric Brown.
The team intends to implement a modified practice strategy for Hunter this offseason and leading into training camp. Unlike his rookie year, where his participation was often position-specific daily, the new approach aims for more consistent back-and-forth between offense and defense throughout practice sessions, mirroring in-season flexibility.
