2025 NFL Odds: How Will Travis Hunter Perform As 2-Way Player?
Hunter, a wide receiver and cornerback in college, was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars after one year at Jackson State and two seasons at Colorado.
And on Wednesday, Jags head coach Liam Cohen said that the team plans to have him practice at both positions.
"You want to give him a couple days offense, a couple days defense, and then give him an opportunity to go flip-flop within the same practice and then that will kind of become the norm," Coen said. "Every moment, every minute that he is in the building, it is accounted for and trying to make sure that we maximize his time and our time so that we can ultimately get the best outcome."
If Hunter were to play offense and defense, how would he perform?

Kobie Turner has a message for NFL offenses: Rams are 'dangerous' on defense
A few years ago, the Rams defensive line was built around a sure-fire Hall of Fame player and a supporting cast. This season, with Aaron Donald entering his second year of retirement, the Rams defensive front is stacked with ascending stars and proven players. 'We have a lot of guys who can really go and win,' nose tackle Kobie Turner said Monday. 'And at any given moment, you got to be ready for any one of us to strike — and that's dangerous.' Read more: Rams already reaping benefits from the Davante Adams-Puka Nacua combo The defensive line most controlled Monday's practice, the Rams' first in pads. Quarterback Matthew Stafford remains sidelined because of a back issue, and receiver Devonte Adams and tight end Tyler Higbee only observed. Turner, Braden Fiske, new addition Poona Ford and edge rushers Jared Verse and Byron Young were among the players that made it tough on a run-heavy offense led by Jimmy Garoppolo. 'These guys are the real deal,' coach Sean McVay said. Get the best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond from our newsletter The Sports Report.

Trevon Diggs expects to return to the field by September
Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs' 2025 season appeared in doubt after he underwent chondral bone graft surgery on his left knee Jan. 23. The surgery transplants pieces of bone tissue into the joint to stimulate growth. Diggs, thought, always had the season opener circled on his calendar. He might not make it back by Sept. 4 for the first game against the Eagles, but Diggs is ahead of schedule in his rehab and hopes to be on the field sometime in September. Diggs told Clarence Hill of All City DLLS he will not need to be placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, which would keep him out at least four games. He missed six games with his knee injury last season. The Cowboys docked Diggs $500,000 for not rehabbing at the team facility enough, but he credits his team in South Florida for getting him back quicker than expected. The two-time Pro Bowler tore the anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee during a Week 3 practice in 2023.
