The new-look Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing for their first game after their aggressive trade deadline.

Jacksonville paid a steep price to acquire safety Jessie Bates III (trade grade) and DTs Davon Godchaux (grade) and Jordan Davis (grade). 

The deal for Davis was a stunning blockbuster, costing Jacksonville its first-round pick in 2027 and second-round selection in 2029. 

The national media has not been kind to the Jaguars for what they gave up for Davis.

In all, Jacksonville traded away one first-round, two second-round, one fifth-round, and one sixth-round pick for the three newcomers.

Now it is time to prove the organization made the right decisions.

The Jaguars go on the road in Week 10 to take on the lowly Tennessee Titans, who are wallowing in last place in the AFC South at 1-7.

The Titans had their own active deadline, sending away a pair of defensive stars as they start a fresh rebuild.  Tennessee acquired two first-round picks for Jeffery Simmons, arguably the game's most disruptive interior defensive lineman, and a second-round pick for safety Amani Hooker, who is tied for the NFL lead with five interceptions.

On paper, this game looks like a mismatch. The Titans are in the running to be the NFL's worst teams, while the Jaguars may now be the favorites to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

However, divisional games are always tough, no matter the teams' records. Despite winning their last two contests by a combined score of 75-17, Jacksonville can't risk looking past the Titans.

Unfortunately for the Jaguars, they have several key players beginning the practice week dealing with injuries. Jacksonville's Wednesday injury list is star-studded.

The Jaguars had five players who didn't practice on Wednesday.

Bates and Davis, the team's two biggest new additions, both sat out on Wednesday, though neither was injury-related.

The same cannot be said for three of Jacksonville's stars.

Running back Bhayshul Tuten (ankle, foot), wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle), and EDGE Travon Walker (rib) all continue to nurse nagging injuries and did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Walker was limited in the final two practices before last Thursday's game against Baltimore, but was able to play despite carrying a questionable designation.

Tuten did not practice at all last week, but still played after being a game-time decision.

Meyers has been playing through ankle and hamstring injuries.

Hopefully, all three can return to the practice field over the next two days.

Jacksonville also had five players who were only able to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday, including two starting offensive linemen.

Center Robert Hainsey (concussion) and right guard Ezra Cleveland (knee, ankle) are both less than 100%.

RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (hand) and LB Branson Combs (shoulder) were also limited.

Terrific safety Antonio Johnson, who returned last week after missing Week 8, is still dealing with an ankle injury.

Though beginning the practice week with at least a limited practice is usually a good sign for a player's availability, their situations will all be worth monitoring as the week progresses.
