Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee) positioned on injured reserve, miss no less than subsequent 4 video games

Hunter spent the vast majority of his first seven video games on offense, the place he performed 305 snaps to 154 on protection. The Jags had designs on carving out an excellent bigger position for the dynamic rookie within the second half of the season, notably on offense.

Now these plans are on maintain for no less than 4 weeks — and probably longer.

Sitting at 4-3, on the outskirts of the AFC playoff image, the Jags offense has been up and down in 2025. Hunter was coming off his greatest recreation of the season in a Week 7 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams in London. The rookie caught eight of 14 targets for 101 yards and a TD, all career-highs.

“It’s definitely not ideal timing, not that any injury is ever ideal timing,” Coen mentioned. “But gotta believe the makeup, his general attitude toward life, how he handles dealing with specific situations, I have a lot of belief in Travis as a person, as a competitor to come back better than ever.”

With Hunter out of the lineup, the Jags desperately want second-year receiver Brian Thomas Jr. to snap out of his early-season funk.

There have been loads of offseason questions and considerations relating to Hunter’s capability to play full-time on either side of the ball. None of them factored in a freak observe harm being the most important obstacle to this point.
