If you’ve been searching box scores for Jacksonville’s coveted top pick, Travis Hunter, perhaps your first stop should be the IR. Hunter went down with a non-contact injury to his right knee during practice and will be placed on the injured reserve indefinitely while the team evaluates the extent of the injury.

The 2025 season has not gone the way that the Jaguars had envisioned for the star wide receiver/cornerback that they traded up to No. 2 to select. Hunter has struggled in the role of WR2 across from Brian Thomas Jr. Hunter has amassed 28 catches on 45 targets for 298 yards and one touchdown (Oct. 19) on offense. On defense, Hunter is responsible for 15 tackles and a trio of pass-breakups.

While Hunter’s injury is evaluated, the placement on injured reserve means he is on the shelf for at least four games. The wideout would be eligible to return Week 13 at the earliest. Should there be further cause for concern, the team would not hesitate to shut him down for the remainder of the season, according to head coach Liam Coen.

Jacksonville is currently 4-3 and in second place in the NFL South. The team has four manageable games upcoming, including the Raiders, Texans, Chargers, and Cardinals. Only Los Angeles has more than three wins.

For fantasy purposes, Dyami Brown and explosive third-year slot man Parker Washington each stand to see upticks in usage.
