Jacksonville Jaguars adjust roster and player roles following Week 4 win
The Jacksonville Jaguars are adjusting their roster and player usage following a Week 4 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Second-year player Travis Hunter, drafted as a two-way prospect, played exclusively on defense during the game, logging 76 snaps as a cornerback but zero snaps on offense. Head coach Liam Coen indicated the decision was made to protect Hunter from injury given the team's current defensive needs.
To bolster a depleted secondary, the Jaguars have made several roster moves. The team signed cornerback Alijah Huzzie from the Houston Texans' practice squad directly to the 53-man active roster. Additionally, the team waived Christian Braswell and placed safety Caleb Ransaw on injured reserve, while signing Jaylon Jones to provide further depth. These moves aim to stabilize the defensive backfield as the team prepares for upcoming matchups.
