From the article

Jacksonville sent cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter back to return a punt for the first time in the 2026 season. While the team has toyed with this in training camp, it was somewhat shocking to see Parker Washington, a Pro Bowl-caliber punt returner, taken off the field.

Hunter used as punt returner for first time; signals value or touch-getting.

CB/WR Travis Hunter was deployed as a punt returner for the first time in the 2026 season early in the first quarter; the move raised questions about whether it reflects the value Hunter holds as a wide receiver building block or represents an effort to get the explosive playmaker more touches.
