Coach Liam Coen said last month the Jaguars were unsure when Travis Hunter would be full go. The Jaguars apparently now know.

Cameron Wolfe of NFL Media reports that the wide receiver/cornerback is expected to be fully cleared for the start of training camp on July 28.

Hunter tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee during an Oct. 30 practice. He underwent surgery Nov. 11 in Dallas, with Cowboys team physician, Dr. Dan Cooper, and Jaguars team physician, Dr. Kevin Kaplan, performing the procedure.

Hunter is now running over 20 mph, which is faster than the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner has ever run, per Wolfe.

Hunter played 324 offensive snaps and 162 defensive snaps in seven appearances as a rookie before his season-ending knee injury. He had 28 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown on offense to go with 15 tackles on defense.

He is expected to play even more on defense this season as the Jaguars have a need at cornerback.
