Travis Hunter<\/a> will likely miss the Jacksonville Jaguars’ next preseason game, against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The injured two-way star did not participate in the light practice on Friday after he sustained an upper-body injury. However, coach Liam Coen came up with a positive update, saying his non-participation was just a \u2018precaution\u2019.<\/p>\n

When asked about Hunter\u2019s availability for the Week 2 preseason game, Coen admitted, \u201cWe don\u2019t know yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Travis Hunter injury update<\/p>\n

Hunter spent the hour on the field in the latest practice session with a play sheet in hand, shadowing the action closely. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what they\u2019re supposed to do when they\u2019re hurt,\u201d Coen explained. \u201cWe want them to make sure that they\u2019re locked in, getting all the calls, understanding the call, and being able to watch and execute it as well in their minds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Heisman Trophy winner logged 18 snaps on both offense and defense in Jacksonville\u2019s preseason opener against Pittsburgh. He also went both ways during Thursday\u2019s scrimmage before crashing hard while defending a deep ball, raising concerns about his short-term availability.<\/p>\n

Hunter is among 10 Jaguars sidelined by injuries, including starting offensive linemen Chuma Edoga and Anton Harrison, defensive linemen Arik Armstead and Maason Smith, safety Caleb Ransaw, linebacker Jalen McLeod, and cornerbacks Tyson Campbell and Montaric Brown. Their status for the Saints game also remains uncertain.<\/p>\n

Coen said the coaching staff is still reviewing the latest medical updates before making roster calls. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a chance,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe got to go get this injury report and make sure because I don\u2019t really want to do too many, \u2019You\u2019re playing, you\u2019re not playing,\u2019 that kind of deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Protecting starters remains Coen\u2019s primary concern, especially if quarterback Trevor Lawrence takes snaps. \u201cIf we are putting (QB Trevor Lawrence out there), we got to make sure we\u2019re protected and we have the right guys in front. Same with the runners, things like that. Just making sure that we\u2019re not putting people in vulnerable spots because we are injured.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Hunter will likely miss the Jacksonville Jaguars’ next preseason game, against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291703,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2076],"tags":[7,12812,13054,125,896,55,2572,2571,6,9791,397,128,55751],"class_list":{"0":"post-291702","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-orleans-saints","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-heisman-trophy-winner","10":"tag-injury-update","11":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","12":"tag-new-orleans","13":"tag-new-orleans-saints","14":"tag-neworleans","15":"tag-neworleanssaints","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-preseason-game","18":"tag-saints","19":"tag-travis-hunter","20":"tag-travis-hunter-injury"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115036245689543730","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/291702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
