Tuten (ankle/foot) rushed 12 times for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 33-10 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.
Tuten fought through the pair of lower-body injuries that had him listed as a game-time decision, recording his fourth rushing touchdown of the campaign on a one-yard run to cap off the opening possession of the contest. The second-year back had to grind for every yard he got on the ground, but fortunately for Tuten, the Jaguars built a comfortable enough lead where he was able to benefit from an early end to his night. Tuten has now scored in back-to-back games, and he'll now have some extra time to get healthier ahead of a Week 10 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Officially active versus Baltimore
Rotowire
Tuten (ankle/foot) is officially listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Ravens.
It was previously reported that Tuten, who had been viewed as a game-time decision for the contest would be good to go, and now that's been confirmed. Assuming no in-game limitations or setbacks, Tuten is in line to continue to lead the Jaguars' backfield in Week 9. If, however, his reps end up being managed at all, added touches could be available for Chris Rodriguez, Ameer Abdullah and LeQuint Allen. When healthy, Tuten has maintained steady volume through seven games, averaging 15.7 carries and 70.3 rushing yards with three rushing scores, while also having recorded a 15/181/3 receiving line in that span.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: In line to play Thursday
Rotowire
Tuten (ankle) is on track to play in Thursday night's game against the Ravens, after going through what Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com describes as an extensive pregame workout.
Tuten, who was listed as a 'DNP' on all three of the Jaguars' Week 9 injury reports, had been viewed as a game-time decision for Thursday's contest, but it looks like the running back will give it a go after all. We'll provide official confirmation of his status, either way, once the Jaguars' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 8:15 pm ET kickoff.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Expected to play Thursday
Rotowire
Tuten (ankle/foot) 'should be' available for Thursday night's game against the Ravens barring any pregame setbacks, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Tuten logged 'DNP' listings on all three of the Jaguars' Week 9 injury reports ahead of the contest and had been considered a game-time decision. Fowler's report indicates that the running back is trending toward active status, but those considering Tuten in Week 9 fantasy lineups will nonetheless want to verify his playing status ahead of Thursday's 8:15 pm ET kickoff.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Questionable for Thursday after no practice
Rotowire
Tuten (ankle/foot) is listed questionable for Thursday's game against the Ravens.
For the third day in a row, Tuten went down as a non-participant on the Jaguars' injury report, even though head coach Liam Coen suggested the running back would practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The coach added that the Jaguars will be viewing Tuten as a game-time decision for Thursday's tilt, with his availability perhaps hinging on how he fares during a gameday workout. If Tuten ends up missing his first game of the season or is active but available in only a limited capacity, Chris Rodriguez would be in store for a larger role out of the backfield.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday that Tuten (ankle/foot) is feeling better, but the running back's status for Thursday's contest versus the Ravens is expected to come down to a game-time decision, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Tuten was listed as a non-participant on the Jaguars' first two Week 9 practice reports, but he may be in line to take some reps during Wednesday's session. The 23-year-old looks poised to take a questionable tag into the matchup with Baltimore, but if he fares well in practice Wednesday and while working out early Thursday, he could get the green light to play on a short week. If Tuten suits up, it's conceivable that he handles a lighter workload than normal, after receiving no fewer than 15 touches in any of the Jaguars' first seven contests.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Sits out Tuesday's practice
Rotowire
The Jaguars listed Tuten (ankle/foot) as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.
For the second day in a row, Tuten went down as a non-participant on Jacksonville's Week 9 injury report while he nurses a pair of lower-body injuries coming out of this past Sunday's win over the Colts. If Tuten can get back on the field in some capacity Wednesday, it would put him in a good spot to play Thursday against the Ravens. However, if Tuten fails to practice and is ultimately ruled out for Thursday, Chris Rodriguez (hand) -- who has been a limited practice participant so far this week -- would be the top candidate to lead Jacksonville's ground attack in Baltimore.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Dealing with ankle, foot injuries
Rotowire
Tuten was a non-participant at Monday's walkthrough due to ankle and foot injuries.
Tuten is coming off a sterling performance Sunday against the Colts in which he reeled off 159 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs on 18 touches, but he now has a pair of health concerns in tow. The Jaguars may be exercising caution with their No. 1 RB, but his status -- along with backup Chris Rodriguez (hand), who was listed as limited -- will be watched to get a sense of who may be available to the backfield Thursday at Baltimore.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: RBs to Start
Rotowire
The Colts just traded standout defensive lineman DeForest Buckner to San Francisco, which will only make things better for Tuten in Week 8. He has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in each of his past five games, including a season-high 24.7 PPR points against Houston in Week 6 on the strength of his work in the passing game with four catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns on four targets. Indianapolis has allowed three running backs this season to score at least 23.8 PPR points with Derrick Henry in Week 1, Kenneth Walker III in Week 2 and Jaylen Warren in Week 5. I expect Tuten to have a big game in this matchup at home.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Two receiving TDs in Week 6 loss
Rotowire
Tuten carried the ball 12 times for 39 yards and caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Texans.
While the Houston front seven kept him bottled up on the ground -- Tuten's longest run went for just five yards -- the second-year RB made an impact through the air, turning a dump pass from Trevor Lawrence into a 27-yard score in the second quarter before catching another two-yard TD before halftime. The receiving touchdowns were his first of the season and tied his total from all of 2025, and Tuten topped 80 scrimmage yards for the fourth straight game. The Jaguars will get a bye before facing the Colts in Week 8.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Tops 90 scrimmage yards against Philly
Rotowire
Tuten carried the ball 22 times for 72 yards and caught two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Eagles.
The second-year back set new season highs in touches and scrimmage yards as he reached 90 in the latter category for a third straight game. Tuten has yet to have a truly huge performance this season, but he's been very steady so far as the Jaguars' No. 1 RB, collecting 349 rushing yards and two TDs on 4.3 yards per carry while adding a 9-78-0 line on 10 targets through five games. Tuten hasn't gotten into the end zone in two straight games, a streak he'll look to snap in Week 6 against the Texans.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: RBs to Start
Rotowire
Tuten had a surprise performance in Week 3 against New England when he scored 17 PPR with 15 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 17 yards on two targets. The Patriots run defense had previously been dominant whenever defensive tackle Milton Williams was healthy, but Tuten still had his best game of the season. The Bengals defense also surprisingly fell apart against Jaylen Warren, who scored 20.6 PPR points. Prior to that, Cincinnati's run defense was looking elite after acquiring Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen this offseason. I'm going to trust Tuten in Week 4 as a high-end No. 2 Fantasy running back, and he has scored at least 14.2 PPR points in two games in a row. Cincinnati will be a tough test, but Tuten appears ready for it.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Records rush TD in loss
Rotowire
Tuten rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for minus-3 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Tuten worked as the Jaguars' clear lead back for the second time in as many games to open the season, even though his rushing workload was relatively modest Sunday. Tuten got into the end zone for the first time this season on a one-yard run early in the second quarter, and he was efficient overall against a high-caliber defense. Tuten figures to remain in the same role for a Week 3 home showdown against the defending AFC champion Patriots next Sunday.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: RBs to Start
Rotowire
The Jaguars are a touchdown favorite at home against the Browns, so there should be plenty of chances to run the ball in this matchup. I'm expecting to see Chris Rodriguez Jr. share playing time with Tuten, especially at the goal line, but Tuten should lead Jacksonville in touches. LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) is also dealing with an injury that should keep him out for this matchup, and Tuten could see an increased role in the passing game, which is a plus. I like Tuten as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Ready to go for Week 1
Rotowire
Tuten (illness) wasn't included on the Jaguars' first Week 1 injury report released Wednesday.
Tuten missed a practice one week ago after falling ill, but his absence from the Jaguars' first injury report of the season suggests that he's 100 percent healthy heading into Sunday's opener versus the Browns. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen hasn't revealed how he plans to divvy up the snaps among his running backs; even if Tuten ends up starting, he could wind up sharing the load on the ground with Chris Rodriguez. Third-down specialist LeQuint Allen (hip) didn't practice Wednesday and appears to be trending toward sitting out Week 1, potentially opening the door for both Tuten and Rodriguez to also see a slight spike in pass-catching opportunities.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Misses practice with illness
Rotowire
Tuten (illness) did not practice Wednesday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Tuten should be fine by the time Week 1 against the Browns rolls around in 11 days. The second-year running back is expected to have a significant role in Jacksonville's backfield this season, but how this running back depth chart shakes out will be a situation to watch against Cleveland. All three of Tuten, Chris Rodriguez and LeQuint Allen (undisclosed) are likely to see snaps when healthy.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Catching more passes after Allen's injury
Rotowire
Tuten excelled as a receiver out of the backfield at Sunday's practice, per John Shipley of SI.com.
The Jaguars appear to be directing more passes Tuten's way at practice following the soft-tissue injury suffered by LeQuint Allen (undisclosed), who had been penciled in as the team's preferred backfield option in passing situations. Ameer Abdullah could take some passing-down work if he makes the team, but Tuten has more receiving upside than Chris Rodriguez, who has just six receptions in 35 career regular-season appearances. Tuten caught 10 of 14 targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns during his rookie regular season.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Added reps with fellow RB sidelined
Rotowire
With Chris Rodriguez recovering from a foot procedure, Tuten and LeQuint Allen took the majority of the Jaguars' running back reps during OTAs and at Tuesday's mandatory minicamp session, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.
According to coach Liam Coen, Rodriguez "will be full go come training camp" after hurting his left foot at the beginning of the team's offseason conditioning program. Once he's back on the field, the free-agent addition is set to compete with Tuten and Allen for slotting in a backfield that no longer includes Travis Etienne. As a rookie last season, Tuten gained 307 yards and five TDs on 83 carries while adding 10 catches for 79 yards and a pair of receiving TDs in 15 regular-season contests. The 2025 fourth-rounder has an opportunity to carve a larger role this season, but Coen previously referred to the situation as "truly wide open," per John Shipley of SI.com, and at this stage there's no clear favorite for the top job.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Could lead Etienne-less RB room
Rotowire
Tuten will likely see a similar workload to Chris Rodriguez as the leaders of Jacksonville's new-look backfield, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Tuten finished second on the team in carries as a rookie during the regular season, as the 2025 fourth-round pick rushed 83 times for 307 yards and five touchdowns while working as the backup to Travis Etienne, who subsequently signed a four-year contract with the Saints in free agency. Jacksonville brought in Rodriguez on a two-year, $10-million contract but didn't draft any running backs, setting Tuten and Rodriguez up to split most of the carries ahead of passing-down specialists LeQuint Allen and DeeJay Dallas.

Jaguars' Bhayshul Tuten: Maintains backup role
Rotowire
Tuten finished the 2025 season with 307 yards and five touchdowns on 83 rushing attempts. He also had 10 catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns in 15 regular-season games.
A finger injury kept Tuten out for two games in 2025. When available, the fourth-round rookie carried the ball in every game he appeared in during the season, with his most impactful game occurring in Week 11, when he had 15 attempts. Travis Etienne remained the starter for the entirety of the season, but he is expected to be an unrestricted free agent in March. Should Etienne leave, Tuten could have an opportunity for a larger role in 2026.
