The Jacksonville Jaguars went all in at the 2026 NFL trade deadline. Jacksonville pulled off three big trades on Monday ahead of the deadline, significantly upgrading their defense. However, Jaguars fans will have to wait before they can see them make their Jacksonville debuts.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen confirmed on Friday that both Jordan Davis and Jessie Bates III will not play against the Titans, per Ryan O'Halloran.
Coen explained that both Davis and Bates would miss out on a bye week if they suited up this week. The Jaguars had their bye in Week 7, so the team will not get any rest for the remainder of the season.
Meanwhile, the Eagles are on bye in Week 10 and the Falcons will have their bye in Week 11.
Jacksonville is taking a smart approach by allowing both players to get some rest. This will also give them an opportunity to get more familiar with the playbook before suiting up in Week 11.
