Travis Hunter plays only defense in Jaguars joint practice v. Bucs
In the Jaguars first training camp practice with the Bucs, it was all defense for Travis Hunter.
During the Jacksonville Jaguars' joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Travis Hunter exclusively played defense for all 11-on-11 snaps. According to ESPN's Michael DiRocco, Hunter logged 25 snaps at cornerback throughout the team sessions, with none at wide receiver. Hunter successfully recorded a pass breakup, deflecting the ball away from Bucs wide receiver Ted Hurst III.
The Jaguars' CB/WR Travis Hunter had a total of 274 snaps over the course of the joint practice, with 208 of them being defensive snaps and 65 offensive snaps, plus one special teams snap. This defensive-heavy approach has been consistent during the past week of practices, indicating that the Jaguars are preparing Hunter for a predominantly defensive role in their Week 1 game.
While Hunter is unlikely to exclusively play wide receiver, his weekly matchups and in-game situations may still influence his offensive snap count.
