The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing for the 2026 season with plans to utilize Travis Hunter in dual roles as a wide receiver and cornerback. Hunter, who suffered an LCL tear in late October 2025, has not yet been cleared for full football activities. Despite this, head coach Liam Coen has noted Hunter's presence around the team during the offseason, indicating significant improvements in his strength and conditioning. Coen expressed confidence in Hunter's mental and physical state, stating, “I’m extremely pleased with where Travis is at mentally and physically.” He acknowledged that while Hunter is training hard and running with teammates, the exact timeline for his full return remains uncertain. Coen has encouraged Hunter, framing the injury as a “minor setback for a major comeback.” The Jaguars are hopeful that Hunter's successful rehabilitation will validate their decision to trade up for him in the draft, where he was selected second overall. As Hunter continues his recovery, the team eagerly anticipates his contributions on the field once he is fully ready to participate.
