The timing of this Week 10 update matters as much as the names involved. Jacksonville is chasing the AFC’s No. 1 seed, and the Jaguars got a useful sign on Thursday when Travon Walker and Jakobi Meyers both moved from DNPs on Wednesday to limited participation. At the same time, Tennessee was already dealing with a long injury list, which only adds to the challenge of hosting a division rival on Sunday.
For the Jaguars, the bigger takeaway is not just that Walker and Meyers were back on the field, but that Jacksonville still appears largely intact despite a crowded list of limited participants. That is a meaningful edge this time of year, especially against a Titans team described as struggling and navigating a litany of injuries.
Walker’s return to practice is especially notable because he had missed Wednesday before logging a limited session on Thursday. Meyers followed the same pattern. B.J. Green II also returned as a full participant after coming off injured reserve, giving Jacksonville another small but important boost as the week moved toward Sunday.
Tennessee’s injury picture is harder to ignore
This week also brought confirmed absences for Jessie Bates III and Jordan Davis, which matters because it narrows the margin for error even further in a divisional matchup. When a team is already trying to steady itself, losing multiple starters before kickoff can change how aggressively it can play in every phase.
That is where the balance of this game starts to tilt. The Jaguars are not just healthier; they are healthier at the right moment, with Sunday’s matchup arriving while they are still in the hunt at the top of the AFC. The Titans, by contrast, are trying to survive the week with more questions than answers.
That is not a guarantee of anything in Week 10, but it is a real competitive edge. And in a division game, even small edges tend to matter more than they do on the schedule’s quieter Sundays.
