The season continues to get worse as the Jacksonville Jaguars will lose rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. [According to several reports](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46931527/jaguars-travis-hunter-surgery-miss-rest-season), Hunter received surgery on Tuesday to repair a lateral collateral ligament in his knee, which will keep him out of action for at least six months of football activities. The expectation was that the wide receiver wasn’t going to return anytime soon since being placed on IR during Halloween, but now the Jaguars will have to wait until next season to make his second-year return. With that, the Jaguars should be in the market for a receiver if they want to boost their chances for an AFC wild-card spot at 5-4.
Jaguars Could Sign Odell Beckham Jr. After Travis Hunter Injury News – 3 Other Suitors Could Emerge
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Former New York Giant veteran Odell Beckham Jr. might be the answer to the woes of the offensive pass attack for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. While they were able to trade for Jakobi Meyers before the deadline, it can’t compensate for the production [Brian Thomas Jr.](https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/01/19/2024-nfl-scouting-report-brian-thomas-jr/) is having this season. After dropping five passes this year alone, the team needs depth if it wants to see Meyers and Thomas succeed as a duo. Jacksonville looked like a legitimate contender since their Week 5 statement win over Kansas City, but it hasn’t been a disappointing follow-up for the Jaguars.
Beckham Jr. is still in contact with several teams across the league and could soon sign with a contender right before the postseason in January.
