Travis Hunter

Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter has been “meeting with [the defense], as he’s needed to.”

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen made comments on Hunter’s practice status as a defender, saying the 22-year-old practiced with the defense last Wednesday for “fundamentals and techniques and communication.” He won’t practice offensively and defensively on the same day in training camp but Coen envisions that happening more in-season with “maybe a third-down day, in-season, where he’s playing receiver, but he has to go get some reps on defense...I don’t see us doing that any time soon.” The Jaguars head coach’s comments indicate Hunter will primarily be a wide receiver while slowly getting some time with the defense leading up to the season. As a defensive back, he may be used more situationally on third downs and other scenarios. Fantasy managers can pencil Hunter in as a wide receiver first, though there will be cases down the road where he will play defensively.
