- GM James Gladstone with injury update on Jacksonville Jaguars' Travis Hunter
Following roster cutdown day, Jacksonville Jaguars' GM James Gladstone had a positive injury update about second overall pick Travis Hunter .
Coming off the Jaguars ' offense vs. defense scrimmage a few weeks ago, Hunter was absent from the following day's practice with an upper-body injury. At the time, Liam Coen said that holding Hunter out of practice was precautionary.

Hunter then missed the Week 2 preseason game against the New Orleans Saints .
During the final week of practices, Hunter took part in the individual period and walkthroughs but not team drills. He also didn't participate in the team portion of the joint practice with Miami , nor the preseason finale.
But now, a few more days removed from that, Gladstone said that Hunter was on the practice field Wednesday and said that he would be ready to go for the Jaguars' Week 1 matchup against Carolina.
Prior to the injury popping up, Hunter had been playing on both sides of the ball in practice and in the Jaguars' first preseason game.

Given how training camp unfolded, my guess is that we may see more of Hunter at receiver early on, with some opportunities at cornerback coming during more of those obvious passing situations where his elite ball skills can be on display.
