Jaguars Start Lawrence, Two-Way Hunter In Steelers Preseason Opener

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play their starters, including quarterback Trevor Lawrence and first-round pick Travis Hunter, in their preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Liam Coen confirmed that Hunter, who is attempting to become the NFL’s first full-time two-way player since 1964, will play at both wide receiver and cornerback during the game. Trevor Lawrence, viewed as a talented quarterback who has yet to reach consistent success, is entering a new era with the Jaguars under Coen’s system and will have key weapons like Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. to support him. The starters' participation aims to provide valuable game reps as the team adapts to Coen's offensive scheme, though the duration of their playtime remains unclear. Fans and fantasy managers are encouraged to watch the game closely to gain insights into the Jaguars’ offense for the upcoming regular season. Overall, this preseason marks an important step for the Jaguars to capitalize on their key players and potentially improve their performance.
