Travis Hunter Returns to Jaguars Camp and Makes Immediate Two‑Way Impact

Coaches have mapped and limited his reps to protect a surgically repaired LCL, and early drills show added muscle, a 22.6 mph top speed, and big plays at receiver and cornerback.

Overview

  • Hunter resumed full-team practices in early August after November surgery to repair a right LCL and says he feels recovered and ready to knock the rust off.
  • Jacksonville coaches have an explicit rep‑management plan that highlights his snaps on each practice to gradually ramp his two‑way workload and protect his knee.
  • He added about 10 pounds of muscle in the offseason and was clocked at 22.6 miles per hour in team testing, a speed the player says he hopes to raise to 23 mph.
  • Through the first block of camp he has already taken meaningful snaps on both sides, logging roughly 24 snaps at cornerback and 15 at wide receiver in 11‑on‑11 work.
  • Early practice evidence — including an interception and contested downfield catches — suggests he can contribute two ways and gives the Jaguars flexibility given stronger depth at receiver and thinner depth at cornerback.
