As we continue to take a look back at the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Week 2 performance against the Denver Broncos, let’s highlight some noteworthy snap count figures.
For the most part, when it comes to playing time, there aren’t many huge surprises, but each week, particularly early on, there are a few things we can glean.

With help from PFF, here are a few quick notes from the Jaguars‘ snap count totals from Week 2.
Where was Travis Hunter playing this time?
This week, Hunter played seven offensive snaps, which was a few more than last week. However, he was not targeted in the passing game. Defensively, Hunter spent most of this time — as expected — and he saw an uptick in snaps, playing 37 at cornerback in this contest.
More opportunities needed for Bhayshul Tuten
Tuten was on the field for 30 snaps, which was the most among Jaguars‘ running backs — Chris Rodriguez was second, playing 13 snaps. That said, with Jacksonville playing 60 total offensive snaps on Sunday, Tuten needs more opportunities. He had a modest 13 carries in this game, but was again quite effective, averaging 5.0 yards per rush against a very good Denver front.

Rotation continues at cornerback
Just as we saw in Week 1, Anthony Campanile is finding ways to get Hunter, Montaric Brown, and Jarrian Jones steady playing time. Brown played 49 snaps, Jones 39 snaps, and Hunter 37 snaps. That said, perhaps more reps should be coming Hunter’s way moving forward.
Branson Combs is still seeing opportunities in specific situations, but the starting linebacker role next to Foye Oluokun very much belongs to Miller. He played 47 snaps in Week 2, while Combs played just 13.
