As training camp enters its final stages, the Jaguars’ tactical focus has shifted toward backfield flexibility. Running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has emerged as a key figure in a rotation that may utilize “pony” packages featuring two receiving-capable backs, moving away from the heavy jumbo packages used in previous years.

Regarding Travis Hunter, the team has begun more actively managing his dual-position role to prioritize defensive development. Head coach Liam Coen recently limited Hunter to defensive snaps during 11-on-11 work, allowing him only five offensive snaps during 7-on-7 drills. Coen stated this adjustment is intended to provide Hunter with more “mental and visual repetitions on the defensive side of the ball,” enabling him to better absorb coaching and scheme adjustments by remaining on the defensive sideline.

These developments are tempered by mounting injury concerns: running back LeQuint Allen Jr. is considered week-to-week, offensive lineman Wyatt Milum is day-to-day, and safety Parker Washington is expected to miss the remainder of the week.
