Travis Hunter's Knee Injury Not Long-Term, Eligible to Return from IR

AutoDraft Pro AI

Jacksonville Jaguars' No. 2 overall pick, Travis Hunter, is not expected to be sidelined long-term despite suffering a non-contact knee injury in practice last week. Although he was placed on injured reserve, making him ineligible for at least the next three games, he is eligible to return after that period. Prior to his injury, Hunter had been a significant contributor, playing 67% of offensive snaps and 36% of defensive snaps in Jacksonville's first seven games. Offensively, he recorded 28 receptions for 298 yards and a touchdown, while defensively he tallied 15 total tackles and three passes defensed. The Jaguars acquired Jakobi Meyers via trade after Hunter was placed on injured reserve.
