JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jaguars receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter is healthy and will play in the season opener against Carolina on Sept. 7, general manager James Gladstone said Wednesday.
Hunter has been dealing with an upper-body injury since Aug. 14 and did not play in the final two preseason games and has only participated in the individual portions of practice. But he practiced Wednesday.
"He's on the grass today and rolling full speed," Gladstone said.
Gladstone also said that the team's expectations for Hunter playing both ways against the Panthers has not changed despite Hunter not practicing fully for four practices and sitting out the final preseason game with the rest of the starters.
