The Jaguars may use rookie Travis Hunter on nearly 100 snaps in their game against the Texans, leveraging his two-way talent amid injuries.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are considering pushing rookie Travis Hunter close to 100 snaps in their upcoming game against the Texans, leveraging his two-way ability amid injuries to key players like Brian Thomas Jr. and Jarrian Jones. After playing 85 snaps across offense and defense in a loss to Cincinnati, Hunter—drafted second overall and a 2024 Heisman winner—says he feels strong and is comfortable with the workload, drawing on his college experience of playing over 100 snaps per game. Coaches emphasize close monitoring through performance science, adjusting his role based on recovery and in-game demands. While some question the feasibility of a two-way player in today’s NFL, the Jaguars remain committed to maximizing Hunter’s impact, praising his adaptability and focus. His role, centered on slot receiver and outside cornerback, could expand if roster issues persist, as he continues to embrace the challenge of helping his team.
