Jaguars reveal why Jordan Davis and Jessie Bates III won't play in Week 10
- Jaguars head coach Liam Coen announced Friday that newly acquired defensive tackle Jordan Davis and safety Jessie Bates III will not play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
- Acquired in trades on Monday, neither Davis nor Bates has experienced a bye week this season, prompting the Jaguars to rest the duo and allow them time to learn the defensive system.
- Trade addition Davon Godchaux will play Sunday, having completed his bye week in Week 8 with the New Orleans Saints, unlike Davis and Bates who remained sidelined throughout the week.
- Coen stated the decision allows both players time to "learn the system" and succeed; they are expected to debut Week 11 against the New York Giants on the road.
- These acquisitions aim to stabilize Jacksonville's defense, which has been hampered by injuries to DaVon Hamilton and Eric Murray; the new personnel provide depth and long-term structure on both the defensive line and secondary.
