Overview

  • Jacksonville announced that Travis Hunter had right knee surgery to repair his LCL and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
  • The procedure was performed in Dallas by Dr. Dan Cooper and Jaguars team physician Dr. Kevin Kaplan, and the team reported no additional ligament damage.
  • Hunter is expected to return to full football activities in roughly six months, positioning the two-way rookie for availability at the start of next season.
  • The No. 2 overall pick sustained a non-contact practice injury last month after initial tests indicated his ACL was intact.
  • Before landing on injured reserve, Hunter logged 486 snaps across offense and defense with 28 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown, plus 15 tackles and three pass breakups, as Jacksonville reshaped its depth chart and acquired Jakobi Meyers near the trade deadline.
