Jaguars' Liam Coen on future of WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee): 'He will come back from this. He will be great'

Travis Hunter, the dynamic two-way player drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars, had his rookie season cut short due to a season-ending knee injury requiring LCL surgery. Despite the setback, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen expressed confidence in Hunter's recovery and future contributions. Before his injury, Hunter showcased his talent by recording eight receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown in a game against the Los Angeles Rams. His overall season stats included 28 catches for 298 yards, 15 tackles, and three pass breakups over seven games. The Jaguars, led by first-year general manager James Gladstone, traded up to select Hunter as the No. 2 overall pick, underscoring their belief in his exceptional abilities. Jacksonville aims to continue utilizing Hunter as a two-way player in the 2026 season, contributing to a team that finished 13-4, won the AFC South, and saw quarterback Trevor Lawrence emerge as an MVP finalist.
