Travis Hunter will debut as a two-way player for the Jacksonville Jaguars in the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He will play both receiver and cornerback. Head coach Liam Coen indicated that the playing time for starters would depend on the game's progression and noted discussions with players like center Robert Hainsey and quarterback Trevor Lawrence influenced his decisions. Communication with these players was emphasized as an important factor. Hunter has practiced on both sides of the ball this week, following his two-way performance in a recent scrimmage.
Hunter will play receiver and cornerback against the Steelers and head coach Liam Coen said Thursday that the Jaguars' starters will play as well.
Coen said conversations with center Robert Hainsey and quarterback Trevor Lawrence were factors in his decision regarding the starters' playing time.
Trevor called me the other night and we've talked about it as well on the ride home a little bit. So yeah, I appreciate that and definitely more of what you're looking for in terms of the communication.
Hunter has practiced on both offense and defense three times this week after making his two-way debut in last Friday night's scrimmage.
