Wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter will be a bye week focus.
Hunter, the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, had his best offensive game of the season against the Rams – and continues playing at a high level at corner. Coen on Monday said continuing to determine the best plan for Hunter is “absolutely going to be a part of the conversation with both sides of the football.”
Hunter played a season-high 67 offensive snaps Sunday with eight receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown – all season-highs – while playing 14 defensive snaps, his third-lowest of the season.
“There were some definite flashes, on offense specifically – had a great pass breakup as well on defense,” Coen said. “We are going to play the best 11 as much as humanly possible after this bye. We’ve kind of gotten a sample size of everything, the totality of the first seven weeks of every position, but specifically with him.
“There were some really good things the other night, specifically on offense. We have to make sure we’re playing the best guys at all times and see what that looks like. That will 100% be a part of this evaluation and conversation over the next few days.”
