Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Jordan Davis and safety Jessie Bates III, both acquired in trades this week, will not play in Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans. Coach Liam Coen announces that both players will get the weekend off.
Across reports, the reason given is that neither player has yet taken a bye week. Because the players are new additions and have not completed their bye during the current season, the team schedules them to rest primarily for that purpose. One outlet notes that the Jaguars have already had their own bye week.
Overall, the coverage is consistent: all sources report the same matchup, the same two inactive players, and the same general rationale related to bye weeks. The main differences are in how much supporting context is included and whether sources attribute the announcement to specific details from the coach.
