- Travis Hunter day-to-day; Jacksonville Jaguars' plan is for him: Joint practices in Miami
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen provided an update on rookie two-way player Travis Hunter .
Hunter returned to practice for Day 17 of training camp after missing Jacksonville's second preseason game with an upper body injury . He had a light day, only participating in the "allignment and assignment" periods while watching from the sideline during full team work.

Coen said Hunter was "day-to-day" and said the goal was to get him ready to play in joint practices with the Miami Dolphins later this week.

"I've got to see what he looks like tomorrow," Coen told reporters on Tuesday. "I think the goal is to try to get him out there for the joint."
The Jaguars have followed their plan to allow Hunter to be featured on both sides of the ball. He's totaled 188 snaps on offense during team periods and has 176 defensive snaps to this point in camp.

But with him missing the second preseason game, he went without several live reps that are valueable to him at this point in his career.
"If we have to be smart with him tomorrow in order to get him out there in the joint, that would be the preference," Coen continued. "Just for that quality work for him, especially on both sides."

If Hunter participates in joint practice, he'll be able to get game-like reps in a controlled enviornment. It could be beneficial to his development since the next oppurtunity to face an opponent will come in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers .

With Hunter projected to start for Jacksonville's offense, and have a role with the defense, it'll be good for him to be featured on both sides of the ball against an outside opponent.
The Jaguars will participate in joint practice with the Dolphins in Miami Gardens on Aug. 21 before playing in the final preseason game on Aug. 23.
