Jaguars' Travis Hunter documents 'road to recovery' from knee injury

As the Jacksonville Jaguars' Travis Hunter continues to work his way back from a knee injury sustained last season, he has been documenting his recovery and has shared his journey on YouTube.

Hunter sustained the non-contact knee injury in practice prior to the Jaguars' Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Surgery to repair the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in Hunter's right knee would follow shortly after.

Now several months removed from the injury and surgery, Hunter is progressing well. GM James Gladstone recently provided an update and timeline for Hunter's return to the practice field.

"He'll be, for all intents and purposes," Gladstone said, "a limited participant throughout the offseason program with eyes on return to play at full tick in training camp."

Both Gladstone and Liam Coen have made it clear that Hunter will continue to play both ways upon his return. However, given the construction of the Jaguars' roster at the moment, there may be more opportunities on defense for him this season compared to last.

As of now, Hunter is likely to step in at the starting cornerback role opposite of Montaric Brown. While on offense, the Jaguars also have Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington at wideout, so the need for Hunter to take on a heavy workload offensively isn't as high as it seems to be on defense.

Voluntary offseason programs for the Jaguars begin on Apr. 20th.
