Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen said on Friday that the young wide receiver and cornerback will be placed on injured reserve after hurting his knee in practice on Thursday.<!-- --> Travis Hunter will now miss at least the next four games, the coach confirmed. Hunter got hurt during a non-contact drill, meaning no one hit him. The team is still checking how bad the injury is and how long he will need to recover. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/>Coach Coen said they are looking at \u201cthe best plan for Travis and the team\u201d before deciding more. Before the injury, Travis Hunter was having a mixed start to his first year in the NFL. In seven games, he had 28 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown. <!-- -->On defense, he made 15 tackles and three pass breakups.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b><\/p>\n<h2>Why was Jaguars\u2019 Travis Hunter placed on IR with a knee injury?<\/h2>\n<p><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>Travis Hunter was just starting to find his rhythm. In Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams in London, he played his best game yet, catching 8 passes for 101 yards and one touchdown, all career highs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Coach Coen said, \u201cYou just feel bad for the kid and for our team. But he\u2019s in good spirits. Minor setback for a major comeback.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Hunter was drafted No. 2 overall and joined the Jaguars hoping to become a rare full-time player on both sides of the ball, offense and defense. So far this season, he has played 305 snaps on offense and 154 on defense, showing his special two-way skills.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<p><b><\/p>\n<h2>Liam Coen believes Travis Hunter will bounce back stronger in future<\/h2>\n<p><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The Jaguars were planning to give Hunter a bigger role on offense after their bye week, but those plans are now paused. The team is 4-3 and still fighting for a playoff spot in the AFC.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>With Hunter out, the Jaguars will need Brian Thomas Jr. and other young receivers to step up.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Coach Coen said, \u201cIt\u2019s never good timing for an injury, but I believe in Travis as a person and as a competitor.
