Jacksonville Jaguars Rumors

Mike Clay of ESPN places Tuten, whom the Jaguars selected in the fourth round out of Virginia Tech in the 2025 NFL Draft, in his Wild Card tier of rookie running backs for the upcoming season.

Hunter is scheduled to face fellow top-10 pick Tetairoa McMillan and the Panthers in Week 1.

Hunter worked out only as a wide receiver during the Jaguars' rookie minicamp, but he'll begin to get reps at cornerback as the team's offseason program ramps up, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports. "We just kind of ended up making a decision that from yesterday to today, we wanted to be able to clean up some of the things that we may have been able to miss yesterday [and] get extra reps on the offensive side of the ball and next week he'll start to roll on defense," Coen said Saturday after the final workout of rookie camp.

Tuten is well positioned to make an early impact with the Jaguars, who drafted him 104th overall, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.

Walker had the fifth-year option on his rookie contract picked up Monday by the Jaguars, and Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston expects a long-term contract extension to follow.

Head coach Liam Coen told SiriusXM NFL Radio on Thursday that he aims to revamp Lawrence's footwork heading into the 2025 season. "We're diving into his footwork," Coen said. "Everything with the quarterback position, so much is built on the lower half and the mind. And those are the things that we can truly control."
