For McVay to give Hunter so much preseason playing time, including in the fourth quarter, would be completely opposite of his typical treatment of NFL regular season players. He just hasn't done that in the past, like at all. But Hunter is on 79-percent of rosters right now and it's not surprising. Hunter was a fourth-round pick last year, so he's not a camp body.

Hunter's fourth-quarter preseason snaps signal McVay's confidence in his regular season role.

Hunter is receiving significant preseason playing time including fourth-quarter snaps, which is atypical of McVay's usual treatment of regular season players and suggests McVay views him as a key contributor. As a fourth-round pick from last year who disappeared during his rookie season due to the team's respect for Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, Hunter's expanded preseason role indicates he may be positioned for a larger role in 2026.
