Jaguars Rookie Receiver Sidelined for Weeks After Knee Injury
31 Oct
Summary
- Jaguars rookie WR Travis Hunter injured knee in practice
- Hunter to be placed on injured reserve, out for at least 4 games
- Hunter had 298 receiving yards, 1 TD in debut season
On October 31, 2025, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced that rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter will be placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the next four games. Hunter sustained a knee injury during a non-contact situation in practice on Thursday.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen expressed disappointment over the setback, stating, "You feel bad for the guy. But he's in good spirits right now, and a minor setback for a major comeback. That's just the way it's gotta be." The second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Hunter has put together a mixed debut campaign, seeing action on both offense and defense.
Prior to the injury, Hunter had compiled 298 receiving yards on 28 receptions, including his first career touchdown catch in the team's most recent game against the Los Angeles Rams in London. The Jaguars will now have to navigate the next several weeks without their promising young playmaker as they assess the best path forward for both Hunter and the team.
