JACKSONVILLE – Liam Coen's Wednesday message was clear.

The early part of the week, and all that that entailed, was important and made the Jaguars better. What's more important is what's next – particularly what happens this weekend.

That's a road game against a division rival.

"The message is we're moving forward," Coen said Wednesday as the AFC South-leading Jaguars (6-2) prepared to play the Tennessee Titans (1-7) at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday.

Coen, the Jaguars' head coach, spoke to the media on Wednesday before practice, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence along with multiple players reiterating Coen's message – that the Jaguars' high-profile trades early this week were important and that the focus is now very much on moving forward.

"We still have a job to do and nothing changes from that perspective," Lawrence said.

The Jaguars on Monday acquired the following three players:

• Defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles for a first-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft and a 2029 second-round selection. "It's all smiles," Davis said. "I'm definitely excited to be here and definitely excited to keep rocking with these boys and continue on doing good things and being a piece that contributes."
• Safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons for a 2027 second-round selection and a 2028 fifth-round selection.
• Defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints for a conditional sixth-round selection. "This team has big hopes to make a big push in the playoffs, Super Bowl champs," Godchaux said. "But everyday you have to earn it. They gave me a call. I'm excited to be here. Dream come true."

The focus is on winning, as it always has been.

"That's the same mindset we've been having: 1-0 each week," Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker said. "We just want to continuously go 1-0 each week. We haven't done anything yet, so for everybody that wants to get happy about the moves that we made … obviously yes, we all think it's some great moves, but we're trying to still continuously go one and zero each week. Prove it."

Lawrence on Wednesday spoke of the moves showing "confidence in our team and what we have a chance to do.

"I think we're a really good team and now we got even better with these guys," Lawrence said. "That's all it is, making our team even better. We know we're going to have a shot. We just have to keep playing well and we have to keep winning.

"You can't look too much into it, because we still have the same job right in front of us. But I think these guys are going to help us, for sure."

Defensive end Josh Hines-Allen said the Jaguars' season in a very real sense "starts today."

"We can't hope and wish for us to win any game," Hines-Allen said. "We never have. We always prepare the right way, each and every day. That's going to continue."

The Jaguars lead the NFL in run defense and rank third in turnovers, with Coen saying the three additions "can help free up a number of different players."

"It can help our edge players and can also help our linebackers to be able to play freely," Coen said. "That's going to be a big group in front now. I have got to believe it's going to help create a little more on the edge and give some guys some opportunities to create on their own as well."

Coen said he wasn't ready to comment on the trio's game status for Sunday.

"We'll go through that throughout the week," he said.

Coen overall said Jaguars' players' general reaction to the moves has been, "Let's go."

"At the end of the day, trust in each other to do what's best for the organization," Coen said. "I think the locker room sees our general manager saying, 'This is about winning. It's about winning games. Right now.' Not, 'I need to get all these picks for me, for my picks and for our group.'

"It's a pretty cool message and I think the players received it loud and clear."
