The Jacksonville Jaguars' offseason has been relatively quiet and positive, with wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter receiving limited attention due to his recovery from a season-ending injury.

| Doug Engle/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It has been a relatively quiet -- and positive -- offseason for the Jacksonville Jaguars. For a team that has been no stranger to changes or controversy in the past, the vibes are as good as they have been this century.which the Jaguars concluded in terms of open practices on Monday, doesn't come without its own self-induced narrative drawbacks.
As with any offseason portion of the season, there have been a fair share of overreactions. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (12) walks off the field during the third day of minicamp at the Miller Electric Center, Thursday, June 11, 2026, in Jacksonville, Fla.
| Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images That has not changed with the Jaguars' 2026 offseason program; nor has the biggest overreaction of the early summer compared to this time a year ago. Each day of the Jaguars' offseason -- at least for the handful of the open practices that we saw --donned a teal offensive jersey and spent his time during team drills paying close attention to the offense.
That has naturally led to plenty of people on the outside opine about what this could mean for Hunter's role, but it feels like this was simply not a time period worth paying much attention to when it came to Hunter's role. Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter (12) walks off the field after the second day of minicamp at the Miller Electric Center, Wednesday, June 10, 2026, in Jacksonville.
| Doug Engle/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The Jaguars had limited things they could do with Hunter this offseason simply due to the nature of last year's season-ending injury and his recovery since last November. While Hunter has not yet been cleared to return to practice on a full-time basis, the former No. 2 pick has clearly gotten a ton of mental reps on the offensive side of the ball.
But it is the middle of June. Hunter has not had pads on since his injury, and the Jaguars have had no reason to show their hand when it comes to their plans for Hunter, who the Jaguars have said will play on both sides of the ball this season.
Watching what Hunter does in practice at this time of the year seems like a moot point, as there is simply nothing to draw a conclusion from that is a stronger evidence point than the color of his jersey.

| Doug Engle/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Imagesthere have been wide-spread proclamations based off limited looks in practice. That hasn't gone away this year, even with him not practicing on a full-time basis, even if he has benefitted from it.
‘Yeah, I think it's all just good for him because he is still a young player and obviously both sides of the ball, he is learning a lot. So now is a time where he really can just get so much mental work, and in practice he can watch and he sees things,” Trevor Lawrence said during OTAs.
