Leanna Hunter’s playful pointed dig at Jaguars star draws attention as Travis heals at home after season-ending surgery

Travis Hunter’s rookie season with the Jacksonville Jaguars took an unexpected turn when a non-contact knee injury in practice forced him into surgery and an early shutdown. The setback hit hard because he was starting to find real momentum on the field.

Now the 22-year-old is recovering at home with his baby boy in his arms while his wife, Leanna, keeps the family running with her usual humor and honesty. She even teased him on Instagram, sharing a sweet picture of father and son with the caption, “taking care of 2 babies is not for the weak.”The timing of the injury was especially painful because Hunter was fresh off his strongest performance yet. He had eight catches for 101 yards and his first NFL touchdown, a milestone that Leanna had also joked about online.

Their supporters know this playful back and forth well. During his time at Colorado, she became a familiar face on the sidelines with custom Hunter boots and handmade game day outfits that always turned heads.

Nothing has changed now that he is in the NFL.

Travis Hunter’s rookie season and family moments

Hunter’s path to Jacksonville brought high expectations. He arrived as the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner and the second overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Jaguars traded with the Cleveland Browns to secure him because they believed in what he could bring as a two-way playmaker.

For a while, he looked every bit the rising star they hoped for. Then the practice injury changed the timeline. Reports from ESPN and NFL.com noted that early confidence about a late season return faded once doctors confirmed he needed LCL surgery.

Jacksonville later announced he would not play again this year.

Off the field, fans have shifted their attention to the couple’s life at home. Travis and Leanna surprised many earlier this year when they revealed they had welcomed their first child in late August. The little boy drew immediate attention for looking just like his dad. Now that Hunter is recovering, supporters are enjoying the small family moments that Leanna shares, including her playful jab that she is caring for two babies at once.

Her lighthearted updates gave fans a cheerful break during a tough season and reminded everyone that even elite athletes get humbled in the sweetest ways at home.More NFL coverageMadison Beer’s mom steals unexpected spotlight at Chargers game as all eyes shift from Justin Herbert’s girlfriendTaylor Swift gets emotional in ‘The End of an Era’ trailer, revealing unseen moments with Travis Kelce
