Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said Wednesday that Hunter should be a "full go" for training camp and will continue playing on both sides of the ball, per The Rich Eisen Show.
Rookie Season Cut Short by Injury
Gladstone made similar comments about positional expectations in January, saying Hunter will play on both sides of the ball without elaborating on the extent. Jacksonville's brass may not even have a definitive answer internally, after Hunter's rookie season was cut short by an LCL tear at the end of October.
Wide Receiver Corps Emerging
Fellow wide receivers Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington emerged down the stretch last season, teaming up with Brian Thomas to form a solid trio at the position. All three remain under contract.
Cornerback Spot Opening
Jacksonville lost CB Greg Newsome to the Giants in free agency, leaving a clear opening for a starting job. Conventional wisdom suggests Hunter will fill that role while working in a part-time capacity on offense.
It's a reasonable expectation, yet best viewed as an evolving situation rather than a locked-in plan. For now, Hunter is a limited participant in the offseason program, with early workouts unlikely to provide any meaningful hint about his NFL future.
