Overview
- Jacksonville put No. 2 pick Travis Hunter on injured reserve, ensuring he will miss at least four games after a non-contact knee injury in Thursday’s practice.
- Early testing showed no structural damage, and reporting from The Athletic indicates team confidence there is no long-term knee issue.
- Doctors and trainers will monitor the knee over the next two weeks with a plan centered on rest and rehabilitation rather than a quick return.
- The Jaguars will spread Hunter’s offensive snaps, with increased reps for Parker Washington and Dyami Brown, and may tweak defensive packages to cover his two-way role.
- Through seven games the two-way rookie logged 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown along with 15 tackles, pausing plans to expand his offensive workload.
