Hunter is working limited OTAs reps on offense and defense while the Jaguars manage his knee rehab and expect him to play both ways.
- On Tuesday, Jacksonville Jaguars receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter participated in limited OTAs while rehabbing his right knee, donning an offense jersey and listening to playcalls through an earpiece as he ran simulated plays behind the line of scrimmage.
