Hunter Surges, Thomas Benched in London Showdown
19 Oct
Summary
- Travis Hunter excelled offensively in London, while Brian Thomas was benched.
- Thomas was targeted three times in the first half with no catches.
- Trade chatter surrounding Thomas is deemed fraudulent, yet questions remain.
Travis Hunter achieved his most productive offensive outing of the season during Sunday's London game. His increased involvement at wide receiver coincided with Brian Thomas being benched for the second half of the Jaguars' 34-31 loss to the Texans. Thomas had three targets before halftime, but failed to secure any catches, leading to his extended absence from the field.
Head coach Liam Coen addressed the situation, stating decisions are made on a week-to-week basis and players must step up. This follows a previous game where Thomas also went without a catch. While Jaguars General Manager James Gladstone previously dismissed trade discussions concerning Thomas as "fraudulent," recent events may prompt further consideration of the wideout's long-term future with the team.
