Overview
- The team confirmed Hunter underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and will not return this season after doctors identified an isolated LCL tear.
- Reporting from Ian Rapoport indicates Jacksonville intends to use Hunter as both a top wide receiver and a matchup cornerback when he returns.
- Head coach Liam Coen said long-term deployment is premature to decide now and will be evaluated after the season.
- The procedure was performed in Dallas by Dr. Dan Cooper with team physician Dr. Kevin Kaplan, and Hunter will rehab in Jacksonville.
- Before the injury, his role was set to expand following a Week 7 London breakout with eight catches for 101 yards and a touchdown, and he logged 323 offensive snaps versus roughly 158 on defense.
