Jaguars OC Grant Udinski said that WR/CB Travis Hunter‘s role will change week by week depending on the game plan.
“Some weeks it might be a strong feature of Travis and you may say, man, this guy suddenly had 10 catches one game and then the next game, it might only be two or three catches or a couple touches,” Udinski said, via Jags Wire. “But we know that he has that ability at all times.”
Texans QB C.J. Stroud is in the final year of his rookie contract before entering his fifth-year option for 2027. When asked if he thinks Stroud bet on himself by not signing a deal last offseason, GM Nick Caserio responded that they were “pretty close” to finalizing an extension and remains confident that they will come to an agreement.
“You can ask C.J. what his thoughts are. We had really good discussions. We were pretty close. We weren’t able to consummate an agreement. I don’t think anybody’s really too worried about it. Let’s say he’s going out there, honestly he’s played really good football, which isn’t a surprise of anybody. I think there are very few people, maybe DeMeco, myself, who supported him all off-season when he was essentially bad-mouthed for like four months about one bad half of football. I think the way he handled himself, how he’s approached it, speaks to who he is. Not a surprise to any of us. I think the contract will take care of itself, whenever that is. We were close. We didn’t get it over the finish line. I don’t think that’s going to dissuade anybody moving forward from ultimately reaching an agreement, whenever that is,” Caserio said, via TexansWire.
Stroud currently has 1,867 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and just one interception. Caserio said he isn’t surprised with how the quarterback is playing.
“I think everybody made their best effort. Kind of came up a little bit short. I don’t think anybody’s surprised with how he’s played. The guy’s a good quarterback. He’s been a good quarterback since he’s been in the league. I know sometimes everybody kind of looks at it through a different lens. The guy’s played really good football since he’s been in the league. That’s just the reality of it. We have talked about that. That’s how DeMeco and I feel. That’s what we’ve said. I don’t know how many times I got asked about it, talked about his professionalism, his performance, his attitude, how he worked this off-season. I think you’re seeing a direct correlation between the work he put in in the off-season and the results on the field. It’s a credit to him. It’s not surprising at all. We’re glad he’s our quarterback.”
As for negotiations with Stroud, Caserio reiterated that they made an offer and they aren’t discouraged by how things have proceeded.
“Nobody was reluctant on anything. We had discussions. We made an offer. All right, couldn’t quite come to final resolution or agreement. That happens. It’s not the first time, it’s not the last time. Not going to be the first time. Again, nobody’s discouraged. I have a lot of respect for C.J. and David [Mulugheta] and their group. I mean, I’m sure at some point that will take care of itself.”
Titans DE Keldric Faulk has seven tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack so far this season after being a first-round pick in 2026. Tennessee HC Robert Saleh is confident Faulk will become one of the great players in the organization.
“Keldric Faulk is the youngest kid in the NFL, so he has to get stronger and learn. But he’s going to be a hell of a football player,” Saleh said via Jim Wyatt of the team website. “When all is said and done, Keldric Faulk is going to be recognized as a Titans great.”
