Summary
The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to use their player, Travis Hunter, more as a cornerback than last season. Hunter, who plays both wide receiver and cornerback, will still play offense, but the team needs him more on defense after losing a key cornerback to another team. Hunter had season-ending knee surgery last year but is expected to fill both roles as needed.
