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.

Jaguars GM James Gladstone suggested at his end-of-season press conference that Travis Hunter's usage could shift more toward CB in 2026, based on the team's need at that position vs. WR. Hunter played 323 snaps on offense and 162 on defense as a rookie.

The Jaguars and WR Jakobi Meyers agreed to a three-year, $60 million extension with $40 million guaranteed, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It lands Meyers 24th among WRs in average annual salary and keeps him in Jacksonville through the 2028 campaign.

Jaguars WR Travis Hunter will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair the LCL in his knee, according to multiple reports. There was no additional damage to the knee, and Hunter is expected to resume football activities in six months, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The Jaguars are trading fourth- and sixth-round picks to the Raiders for WR Jakobi Meyers. The move comes amid multiple WR injury situations that Jacksonville is navigating.

The Jaguars are confident that WR Travis Hunter avoided any "long-term damage" to his knee when he went down in practice on Thursday, according to The Athletic's Michael Silver. It was a non-contact injury for Hunter, but his ACL is intact, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Saturday. The rookie was placed on IR on Friday, knocking him out for at least four games. "The Jaguars are evaluating the best course of treatment over the next two weeks and have no intention of rushing him back," Silver adds. Try to keep Hunter stashed on fantasy benches until we have a clearer timeline for his return.

The Jaguars are placing Travis Hunter on IR because of the knee injury he suffered in Thursday's practice, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The rookie will miss at least the next four games. We have yet to see details on the injury, but it doesn't sound like the team expects it to end his season.
