Overview
- General manager James Gladstone said Thursday that Travis Hunter will be limited in the offseason program with the goal of being fully cleared for training camp.
- Multiple reports, including from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, indicate the Jaguars expect Hunter to be a full-time cornerback and a part-time receiver in 2026.
- Team leaders still say he will play on both sides of the ball, with Gladstone emphasizing they expect impact snaps on offense and defense once he is healthy.
- Hunter’s rookie year ended after a non-contact torn LCL in an Oct. 30 practice, and he finished seven games with 28 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown plus 15 tackles and three passes defended.
- The defensive emphasis tracks with a depth chart led by Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington at receiver, and it positions Hunter to start outside opposite Montaric Brown.
