JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Welcome back, Travis Hunter.The Jaguars' star second-year player has been one of the top stories of training camp for the Jacksonville Jaguars since camp officially kicked off on Wednesday. But it is what Hunter did on Day 4 of camp on Sunday that officially announced his triumphant return. So, what did we see from Hunter and the rest of the Jaguars on Day 4 of training camp? We break it down below.Travis Hunter Has His Breakout Day Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (12) is helped on technique by defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile during the first day of NFL Training Camp at the Miller Electric Center on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, in Jacksonville, Fla. | USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectOn the last practice day before pads come on during Monday's practice, the Jaguars did a good amount of end of half situational work that led to limited highlights on the day. That is for everyone other than Travis Hunter, who had by far his best day in camp thus far. It was the kidn of practice pefomance where every single person in attendance, from fans to media, could walk away saying "this was the Travis Hunter day."Hunter has been taking snaps at both cornerback and wide receiver in team drills throughout each and every day of camp so far, and this continued on Sunday. The difference with Sunday's practice is that after several days of solid but unspectacular flashes and a few "almost" big plays, Hunter was ble to take over team drills with arguably the two biggest plays of the entire practice. Doing damage on both sides of the ball 💫@Dream_Finders | #DUUUVAL pic.twitter.com/kKxbDaGF0w— Jacksonville Jaguars (@Jaguars) August 2, 2026Hunter started his day with a big gain through the air during the first session of team drills, catching a pass from Trevor Lawrence while being covered by Jarian Jones before picking up a nice chunk of yards after the catch. At that point, it had been Hunter's top highlight play of training camp. That lasted for all of about 15 minutes. Once the Jaguars broke into their second session of team drills, Hunter took over. He intercepted Nick Mullens with an athletic grab near the sideline on one rep and then just a few plays late switched to offense. Once on that side of the ball, he made a contested catch against likely DPI for what would have amounted to a 40-yard gain from Trevor Lawrence. Hunter did a little bit of everything on Sunday, and he was ultimately the camper of the day.Chris Rodriguez Jr. Takes a Step Jacksonville Jaguars running back Christian Rodriguez Jr. (24) looks on during the third day of NFL Training Camp at the Miller Electric Center on Friday, July 31, 2026, in Jacksonville, Fla. | USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectThe Jaguars have made it clear this week that they are not going to rush Chris Rodriguez Jr. back into a full workload just for the sake of doing so. And through the first three days of training camp, his reps reflected that as he got no snaps in team drills and stuck to working in individual drills during the first-half of practice. That all changed on Sunday, however. No, Rodriguez did not suddenly start getting a ton of reps in team drills and officially stake his claim to the RB1 spot or the backfield rotation. But he did get two carries in team drills, with one coming on a handoff from Nick Mullens and the other coming on a handoff from Trevor Lawrence. It was ultimately a small step forward for the Jaguars' top free agent addition, but it was still a worthwhile and important step regardless. The question remains of when Rodriguez will start seeing closer to a full load of work in practice. Until he gets to that point, it will feel like Bhayshul Tuten is going to continue to get a bulk of the key carries in practice. This was an important day for Rodriguez though, and we can see where he has progressed from this in a week or so.
