On Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars' GM James Gladstone and head coach Liam Coen spoke with the media. Among the numerous topics discussed was Travis Hunter's timeline to return from injury.
Hunter suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice prior to the Jaguars' Week 9 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.
"He'll be, for all intents and purposes," Gladstone said, "a limited participant throughout the offseason program with eyes on return to play at full tick in training camp."
The Jaguars' offseason program begins just before the 2026 NFL draft.
Upon his full return to the practice field, Hunter will continue to play both ways, but given the construction of the roster, there could be more opportunities at cornerback for him.
Hunter is currently slated to start on the outside opposite of Montaric Brown. While at wideout, Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington headline that unit.
From the sounds of it, Hunter's practice plan this offseason and into training camp will differ from last year. As a rookie, there was very little flipping back-and-forth between the two positions during the early portion of the NFL schedule.
But once the Jaguars got into the season, he did that much more regularly during practices. That seems to be what the Jaguars are aiming for once Hunter is able to return.
"I think we're going to blend the offseason schedule with him a little bit better than we did last year, which was more of like focusing per day on one side of the ball," Coen said recently, via ESPN. "As we did it in-season, where he was more back and forth [on both sides of the ball] throughout the day, that may be a little bit more where we're trending."
Last season at cornerback, Hunter allowed nine completions on 15 targets at just 10.7 yards per catch. He also had two pass breakups and two penalties, according to PFF. At wide receiver, he caught 28 passes for 298 yards with a touchdown.
