Sources: Jaguars Plan to Keep Travis Hunter in Two-Way Role After LCL Surgery

The rookie is out for 2025 with an isolated LCL tear, with a six-month timeline to resume full football activity.

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.
