Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter (knee) to be placed on injured reserve, miss next four games

Travis Hunter, the Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie two-way player, has been placed on injured reserve following a non-contact knee injury sustained during practice. Head coach Liam Coen announced that Hunter will miss at least four games as the team evaluates the injury to determine the best recovery approach. Drafted as the No. 2 overall pick, Hunter has been playing on both offense and defense, recording 28 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown, along with three pass breakups and 15 tackles in his first seven games. The Jaguars, currently holding a 4-3 record, were planning to expand Hunter's role, particularly on offense, after his strong performance in a recent game against the L.A. Rams. With Hunter sidelined, the team will look to second-year receiver Brian Thomas Jr. to step up in his absence.
