"In Week 8, the Jacksonville Jaguars were on a bye. The team was in London the previous week to face the Los Angeles Rams. They lost that contest 35-7 and are 4-3 on the season. Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter had the best performance of his career in Week 7 vs. the Rams despite the loss. He had a career-high eight catches for 101 receiving yards and a touchdown."
"Jacksonville had the fifth overall pick heading into the 2025 NFL draft in April. However, general manager James Gladstone made a massive trade with the Browns. Cleveland had the second overall pick in the draft. Gladstone swapped first-round picks with the Browns in 2025 and gave them a 2025 fourth-round pick as well as Jacksonville's 2026 first-rounder. The Jaguars had the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft after a trade and were able to select generational prospect Travis Hunter."
"The 22-year-old was one of the most intriguing prospects in his draft class. Hunter was a star at the collegiate level, winning the Heisman Trophy in his final season. In college, Travis Hunter played both ways for Colorado. He was a WR and CB full-time. Many expect that for Hunter in the NFL, but he's been used more on offense. Through seven games, Hunter has played in 67% of Jacksonville's offensive snaps."
Travis Hunter suffered a knee injury at practice on Thursday and will be placed on injured reserve, forcing him to miss at least four games. The Jaguars were on a Week 8 bye after losing in London to the Rams 35-7 and stand 4-3. Hunter recorded a career-high eight catches for 101 yards and a touchdown in Week 7. Jacksonville acquired Hunter by trading up to the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 draft. Hunter, a 22-year-old Heisman winner, played both WR and CB at Colorado but has been used primarily on offense, appearing on 67% of offensive snaps through seven games.
