Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers had his right hand in a brace on the sidelines of Friday night's preseason game vs. the Panthers. The injury was revealed to be a jammed right thumb that could cause him to miss time. The assumption would be that the second overall pick in 2025, Travis Hunter, would benefit from increased offensive snaps if Meyers’ injury lingers into the season. But according to Juston Lewis of the Florida Times-Union, that may not be the case.

Jaguars WR Jakobi Meyers had his right hand in a brace on the sidelines of Friday night's preseason game vs. the Panthers. HC Liam Coen offered little afterward, saying only that he's unsure whether Meyers will practice this coming week.

Jacksonville's Travis Hunter played 28 snaps on defense and just 2 on offense in 11-on-11 work in Wednesday's joint practice with the Panthers, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. That fits the recent camp trend: Hunter has been playing much more defense than offense.

It's been clear for a while now that Travis Hunter will play a bigger role on Jacksonville's defense this year than last. It's been less clear what that will mean for his playing time on offense. But HC Liam Coen gave us a strong signal when talking about Hunter's role with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler recently.

The Jaguars opened training-camp practices Wednesday morning, and second-year lightning rod Travis Hunter played first-team snaps on both offense and defense.

Jaguars WR Travis Hunter is expected to be fully healthy for the start of training camp, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. Hunter's rookie season ended with a November LCL injury that required surgery. He missed OTAs this spring, but we'll start to get a look at Jacksonville's plans for Hunter when camp opens.

The Jaguars have agreed to a three-year extension with TE Brenton Strange with a max value of $48 million and $25 million in guarantees, NFL Network reports. That’s the fifth-most guaranteed money on a TE contract in the league right now. The $16 million a year at max value would also rank fifth-highest. (We’ll see about the base numbers.)

Jaguars OC Grant Udinski believes WR Parker Washington is capable of "even more" than he did at the end of last season. Washington averaged 4.8 catches, 74.7 yards, and 0.5 TDs over his final 10 games last year, including 114 yards and 0.75 TDs over his final 4.

Jaguars GM James Gladstone said he expects Travis Hunter to play both offense and defense again this season, and that the team is “absolutely not” done using him as a two-way player. He added that Hunter’s CB percentage and defensive snap count should rise. Hunter played 324 snaps at WR and 162 at CB last season, which matches the earlier reports pointing to a bigger defensive role. Gladstone did not call Hunter a “full-time” CB, but it sounds like those snap counts could be much closer to even in 2026.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed Thursday what his colleague Cameron Wolfe reported back in February: that the Jaguars plan to play Travis Hunter full time at CB and part-time at receiver this coming season. The team also plans to ease him through offseason workouts with the goal of getting Hunter back to full strength by training camp. Hunter injured the LCL in his right knee in Week 7 and missed the rest of the season.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that the Jaguars plan to play Travis Hunter full time at CB in 2026 and just part time at WR. CBs Montaric Brown and Greg Newsome are set to hit unrestricted free agency, and Wolfe says the team is expected to let at least one of them walk to open a starting spot for Hunter.
