Jaguars Place Two-Way Rookie Travis Hunter on IR With Practice Knee Injury

His timetable beyond the four-game minimum remains unclear, with Jacksonville preparing to reallocate snaps on both sides of the ball.

Overview

  • Coach Liam Coen said Hunter suffered a non-contact knee injury in Thursday’s practice, and the team placed him on injured reserve, ruling him out for at least four games.
  • Coen said the Jaguars are still assessing the injury and have not determined whether Hunter will return this season.
  • Plans to expand Hunter’s offensive role after his Week 7 breakout in London have been paused following the IR move.
  • The Jaguars expect to elevate practice-squad receivers and lean on Brian Thomas Jr., Dyami Brown, Parker Washington and Tim Patrick to cover offensive snaps, with defensive assignments also adjusted.
  • Local reports indicated he went down while playing defense and injured his right knee, though the team has not provided further specifics.
