It was a forgone conclusion that Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter would play both sides of the ball in the Jaguars preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers as Jags head coach Liam Cohen told reporters so on Thursday.

Travis Hunter’s professional debut included 10 snaps on offense, eight on defense and no highlights. The Heisman Trophy winner and second overall pick in the NFL draft was relatively quiet in Jacksonville’s 31-25 loss to Pittsburgh in a preseason game Saturday.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter played his first NFL preseason game on Aug. 9 vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. How much did he play?

While Aaron Rodgers didn't officially sign with the Steelers until June 7, Mike Tomlin had known for months that the four-time league MVP would be joining his team for the 2025 season. Pittsburgh's coach recently acknowledged that he knew Rodgers was signing with the Steelers prior to this year's NFL draft,

While the team is talented enough to win a championship, a lot of those hopes will depend on what version of Rodgers they're getting. With retirement right around the corner, the future Hall of Fame quarterback is no longer the dynamic superstar that he once was.
