Travis Hunter #12 of the Jacksonville Jaguars looks on during a NFL Organized Team Activities (OTAs) offseason practice at Miller Electric Center on June 2, 2025 in Jacksonville, Florida.

Overview

  • Travis Hunter sustained an upper-body issue on Aug. 15 and did not participate in the Jaguars’ light practice sessions.
  • The No. 2 overall pick, who split snaps at wide receiver and cornerback in the preseason opener, may sit out Sunday’s game against the Saints.
  • Hunter remained on the field with a play sheet beside receivers coach Edgar Bennett instead of joining drills.
  • Coen and his staff have applied extra caution to Hunter’s two-way workload as multiple starters have also been limited by injuries.
  • Jacksonville is reviewing its injury report and may limit snaps for key players in the remaining exhibitions to protect depth before Week 1.
