JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars on Friday practiced at the Miller Electric Center.
The Jaguars (4-3) will play the Las Vegas Raiders (2-5) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev., Sunday in a 2025 Week 9 game. A look at Friday around the Jaguars – with Head Coach Liam Coen speaking to the media for the final time before Sunday:
Travis Hunter will be placed on injured reserve.
Hunter, a wide receiver/defensive back and the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, sustained a knee injury in practice Thursday. Coen during his Friday morning media availability announced Hunter will be placed on injured reserve.
“Obviously huge blow,” Coen called it.
Hunter under NFL injured-reserve rules will miss at least four games.
“We’re currently assessing the injury, just to determine the best course of action moving forward for Travis and for the team,” Coen said, adding that it was a “non-contact” injury. “We’re still waiting on further information to determine how long it could be.”
Travis Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner, has played extensively on offense and defense as a rookie – the first NFL player to do so in three decades. Hunter in the Jaguars’ last game – a 35-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at Wembley Stadium in London before a Week 8 bye – caught a season-high eight passes for 101 yards and his first NFL touchdown.
“You just feel bad for the guy, for the kid, for our team, for everything,” Coen said. “He’s in good spirits right now.”
Coen called the situation “a minor setback for a major comeback,” adding, “That’s just the way it has to be.”
