Hunter suffered the knee injury during practice the day before Halloween, and was placed on injured reserve as the team hoped that the rookie would be able to return this season. However, on Tuesday, Hunter underwent surgery to repair the Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) in his knee, and now faces a six-month recovery process.
Hunter is now officially out for the rest of the season.
According to multiple reports, Hunter avoided any damage beyond the LCL injury.
The two-way standout saw significant time at both wide receiver and cornerback as a rookie. He logged 67 snaps on offense for Jacksonville back in Week 7, while playing another 14 snaps defensively. This season, Hunter logged 324 offensive snaps, along with another 162 defensive snaps.
He caught 28 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown, while breaking up three passes on the defensive side of the ball.
