Jaguars vs Browns: Hunter Returns | Cleveland Browns News

The Jaguars kick off their 2026 season against the Browns in a high-stakes showdown featuring the return of star rookie Travis Hunter, who missed nearly all of last year with a knee injury. Hunter, acquired via a major trade that passed on the Browns, is poised to make his debut at cornerback and make a statement against the team that passed on him. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence seeks to prove his MVP-caliber season wasn’t a fluke, while Deshaun Watson continues his quest to regain form after a turbulent tenure. Jacksonville’s defense, which led the league in takeaways last year, remains a key weapon — if they can force turnovers again, they’ll have a major edge. And with a revamped running game looking to silence doubters, the Jaguars are heavy favorites — but they’ll need to avoid costly mistakes to prove they’re more than a one-hit wonder.
