JACKSONVILLE – Two of the Jaguars' big additions will wait to debut.
Defensive tackle Jordan Davis and safety Jessie Bates III, two of three high-profile players acquired by the AFC South-leading Jaguars (6-2) in trades this week, will not play against the Tennessee Titans (1-7) at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday afternoon.
"Neither one will be playing on Sunday," Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen said Friday in his final media availability of the week.
The Jaguars acquired Davis in a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles and acquired Bates in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons. Both trades occurred Monday, the same day the Jaguars acquired defensive tackle Davon Godchaux in a trade with the New Orleans Saints.
Godchaux will play Sunday. Coen on Friday said Davis and Bates will not play because both have played nine games so far in 2026, with neither the Eagles or Falcons yet having had bye weeks this season. The Jaguars had their bye in Week 7.
"With their workload and the way the season falls from a scheduling standpoint, we want to be able to make sure that we're in player safety, putting them in a position to succeed," Coen said of Davis and Bates. "Also, learn the system, and just give those guys a week to be able to do that. "
The Future is Now
By placing your 2028 season ticket deposit today, you'll secure priority access and move to the front of the line for seats in the new stadium.
The Jaguars acquired Bates for a second-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft and a 2028 fifth-round selection. They acquired Davis for a 2027 first-round selection and a 2029 second-round selection.
"Jessie Bates has been here until about 10:30 every night," Coen said. "It's been pretty cool seeing them in there, learning, grinding, working through it. There's obviously so much that safeties have to be able to communicate and operate with in the back end of the entire structure.
Godchaux, acquired for a conditional sixth-round selection, had a Week 8 bye with the Saints.
"I've really appreciated the way he, Jordan and Davon have all gone through the work week," Coen said, noting that while Bates (Cincinnati Bengals, Falcons) and Godchaux (Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Saints) have played for multiple teams, Davis previously played only with the Eagles.
"Davon and Jesse have been through different organizations, teams, moves," Coen said. "This is new for Jordan, and I think he's handled it. He's worked his tail off with strength and conditioning and sports science, athletic training guys this week."

1.Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten practiced limited Friday and was listed without game status on Friday's third and final injury report of the week, with being listed without game status meaning a player is expected to be available to play. Tuten missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a foot/ankle injury.
"He'll be good to go on Sunday," Coen said of Tuten.
Center Robert Hainsey, who practiced limited Thursday and Friday with a concussion, was the lone Jaguars player listed as questionable Friday.
Other players listed without game status: Running back Chris Rodriguez (hand), wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle), guard Ezra Cleveland (knee/ankle), defensive end Travon Walker (rib), linebacker Branson Combs (shoulder) and safety Antonio Johnson (ankle).
Defensive end B.J. Green, whose window to return from injured reserve with a forearm injury was opened this week, practiced full for a third consecutive day and was officially ruled out Friday.
2.It was an important week of practice for the Jaguars, not just because of Sunday's AFC South rivalry game.
Coen said earlier in the week he challenged the team in meetings to take steps needed to become great, and this week was a sign of their response.
"Wednesday was a really good practice," Coen said Friday. "Yesterday started a little bit slow on offense, got a lot better. Defense, I thought had a great practice. Offense threw and caught it really well. It was competitive. I thought, like you could feel the competitive juice a little bit."
Coen said multiple players at the positions played by the newly-acquired players practiced with particular energy this week.
"You could feel, you know, [defensive tackles] Albert Regis, Matt Dickerson … a lot of guys that obviously are going to somehow be impacted by these trades," Coen said. "It's just natural. I felt an uptick in competition and urgency. These guys are going to go into this weekend understanding that the standard doesn't change.
"We have to continue to get better, and it's about us and the way that we perform, the way we prepare."
