  "account": "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.",
