The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to use Travis Hunter on both sides of the ball this season, but his primary role in Sunday’s opener against the Cleveland Browns will be at cornerback. Coach Liam Coen said Hunter will receive offensive opportunities when the matchup or game situation warrants them, without committing to a specific snap count or guaranteeing that he will be targeted. The approach reflects Jacksonville’s improved receiving depth and Hunter’s return from a knee injury that limited him to seven games as a rookie. The Jaguars hope to capitalize on Hunter’s defensive potential while deploying him selectively as a receiver and blocker to create mismatches.

Fluid usage on offense could work if they keep it situational and don't rush it.
Starting him at cornerback first seems like the right call to protect that knee.
