NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the expectation is Travis Hunter will enter training camp as a "full-time corner back and part-time wide receiver."
Fantasy Impact
This was seeming inevitable to end last season with the emergence of Parker Washington and acquisition of Jakobi Meyers. It is a brutal blow for dynasty managers who drafted Hunter early last season. He will remain a player to continue to monitor for fantasy managers.
Jaguars GM James Gladstone said CB/WR Travis Hunter is hopeful to be a full-go come the start of training camp.
Fantasy Impact
Hunter will be a limited participant throughout OTAs as he recovers from November LCL surgery. His exact role heading into next season remains largely unknown and will be something to monitor throughout the rest of the offseason.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Travis Hunter is “very well ahead of where he’s supposed to be” in his recovery from knee surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Hunter underwent surgery to repair the LCL in his right knee after suffering a non-contact knee injury in practice last season. He'll need to continue to be monitored as the offseason progresses. It remains unclear what his overall role will be heading into next season.
Travis Hunter is expected to play on both sides of the ball in 2026, according to Jaguars GM James Gladstone.
Fantasy Impact
Hunter was already playing on both sides of the ball in 2025, but the expectation is that he will be playing more defense in 2026 due to the current situation in the receiver room. The Jaguars traded for Jakobi Meyers then handed him a multi-year contract, Parker Washington emerged as a reliable option, and Brian Thomas Jr. is still hanging around with his potential to have a big year as well. Hunter was just starting to break out at receiver before going down to injury, so this is a tough break for his potential fantasy value. He should still be a good situational receiver, but his upside could be limited by playing time.
Travis Hunter underwent season-ending knee surgery and will miss the rest of this season.
Fantasy Impact
It was an LCL repair for Hunter. He’s expected to return within six months to full football activities. Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers should continue to see more involvement until Brian Thomas is healthy in the passing game for Jacksonville.
