Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter will play on both sides of the football in Week 1 of the preseason, head coach Liam Coen said. Hunter, who is looking to become one of the rare instances of a player slotting in on both sides of the football, will get his first trail run against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Travis Hunter will make his two-way debut Saturday night when the Jacksonville Jaguars play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers in both teams' preseason opener.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen told reporters Thursday that rookie first-round pick Travis Hunter will see action at both wide receiver and cornerback during their preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night.

In response to backup quarterback Will Howard ‘s hand injury ( which he suffered on Tuesday ), the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed quarterback Logan Woodside to a one-year contract. Pittsburgh also signed guard Andrus Peat and waived long snapper Tucker Addington and guard Nick Broeker.

It's not known when Howard's injury occurred, but head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters he believes it happened on a routine play. "I think [Howard's injury] came on an exchange from center, but I didn't have eyes on it.

As it turns out, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin will not ask quarterback Aaron Rodgers to play in Pittsburgh’s preseason opener.

While he's open to playing in the preseason, Aaron Rodgers apparently doesn't see much value in it. The Pittsburgh Steelers' veteran quarterback essentially said as much when he was asked Wednesday about the possibility of playing in any of Pittsburgh's upcoming preseason games.
