Jaguars Place Two-Way Rookie Travis Hunter on IR After Non-Contact Knee Injury

The decision halts plans to expand his offensive role.

Overview

  • Head coach Liam Coen said Friday that Hunter injured his knee without contact in Thursday’s practice and is being placed on injured reserve.
  • Hunter will miss at least four games under NFL IR rules, with the earliest possible return in Week 13 against the Titans.
  • Coen said the team is still assessing the severity and does not yet know whether Hunter will play again this season.
  • The No. 2 pick had just posted a Week 7 breakout in London and has logged 486 snaps this year (324 offense, 162 defense) with 28 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown, plus 15 tackles and three passes defended.
  • With Jacksonville already managing other wideout injuries, the Jaguars signaled depth adjustments and potential practice-squad elevations, while reports indicated the injury occurred on defense and involved his right knee.
