The Week 10 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars will be difficult and is now more complicated following their trade for Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates III. Hence the trade for Bates.

Jaguars' Jessie Bates trade complicates Ward's Week 10 matchup against elite defense.

Ward faces a difficult Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, whose defense has been strengthened by the trade acquisition of Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates III from the Falcons. The Jaguars rank second in points per game allowed (15.1) and fifth in rushing (89.3), though they rank 22nd in pass yards allowed (229/game). Bates is among the most consistent ballhawks in the league with 28 career interceptions (third among active NFL defenders) and two career interceptions versus the Titans, including one in the 2021 postseason. Ward will have to navigate this challenge while attempting to continue improving.
