Rest for New Signings
The Jacksonville Jaguars will not play newly acquired defensive tackle Jordan Davis and safety Jessie Bates III in Sunday's game at Tennessee. The management decided to hold out both players because neither has enjoyed a bye week yet this season.
Head coach Liam Coen announced the decision on Friday morning. He stated that the team wanted to prioritize player safety while giving the new additions time to get used to the system. Coen explained that the staff wanted to put the players in a position to succeed and give them a week to adjust.
According to the head coach, the staff had been talking about the decision and working through it as the week went on. They ultimately decided on Friday morning to rest the two players.
Godchaux Cleared for Titans Game
Defensive tackle Davon Godchaux will play on Sunday despite joining the team at the same time. Godchaux arrived via trade on Monday alongside Davis and Bates. However, he is ready to take the field because he already had a bye week earlier in the campaign.
Godchaux came from New Orleans, a team that had its bye week in Week 8. That means he has already received his scheduled week off.
On the other hand, Davis came from Philadelphia, a team that has its bye week scheduled for this week. Bates arrived from Atlanta, where the bye week is set for Week 11. Because of those schedules, neither player had received a break before moving to Florida.
Trade Terms and Squad Updates
Jacksonville completed deals for all three defensive players on Monday. To get Davis from Philadelphia, the Jaguars traded away a 2027 first round pick and a 2029 second round pick.
To acquire Bates from Atlanta, Jacksonville gave up a 2027 second round pick and a 2028 fifth round pick. The team got Godchaux from New Orleans in exchange for a conditional 2027 sixth round pick.
There is also news regarding running back Bhayshul Tuten ahead of the clash with Tennessee. Tuten failed to practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. However, coach Coen confirmed on Friday that Tuten would practice during the day's session and will play in Sunday's game against the Titans.
