Jaguars’ Hunter Undergoes Season-Ending Knee Surgery
The Jacksonville Jaguars have confirmed that wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter will miss the remainder of the 2025 NFL season. The 22-year-old underwent season-ending knee surgery to repair his LCL. This injury occurred during practice, leading to his placement on injured reserve on October 31.
Travis Hunter’s Injury Details
Fortunately, Hunter’s ACL remained intact. However, the injury was significant enough to conclude his rookie season prematurely. Doctors expect him to resume full football activities in approximately six months.
Impact on the Jaguars’ Roster
Travis Hunter was a pivotal player for the Jaguars this season. After being the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft, he displayed remarkable versatility as both a receiver and a cornerback. In his debut season, he played 326 snaps on offense and 162 on defense.
- 28 receptions for 298 yards
- 1 touchdown
- 15 tackles and 4 pass breakups
Recent Performance
One week before his injury, Hunter achieved his best performance by accumulating 101 yards and one touchdown on eight receptions. This standout game occurred against the Los Angeles Rams in London.
Jaguars’ Wide Receiver Depth Chart Challenges
With Hunter’s absence, the Jaguars’ wide receiver depth chart has become a concern. Key players currently include:
- Brian Thomas
- Parker Washington
- Dyami Brown
- Jakobi Meyers
Notably, Jakobi Meyers joined the team just last week after a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Jaguars have been grappling with injuries among their wide receivers, as Thomas missed a recent game against the Houston Texans due to an ankle injury.
Season Performance Overview
The Jaguars started the 2025 season strong with a record of 4-1. However, they have since experienced a decline, losing three out of their last four games. The loss of Hunter may have exacerbated these challenges as the team seeks to regain its footing.
