Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter will miss the remainder of the season following successful surgery on his right knee. The team confirmed that the procedure repaired his lateral collateral ligament and revealed no additional damage was found. Hunter is anticipated to resume football activities in about six months.
The injury happened during a practice session, ending a promising debut year for the second overall draft pick. Hunter had been playing significant roles on both offense and defense. In a notable game against the Rams, he achieved eight receptions for over 100 yards and a touchdown.
His absence compounds the team's challenges at the wide receiver position, where other players are also managing injuries. The Jaguars recently obtained Jakobi Meyers to help address the shortage.
