Bhayshul Tuten is set to take the field for the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans despite missing the first two days of practice this week with foot and ankle injuries. The Jaguars confirmed that Tuten, who returned to practice on Friday in a limited capacity, does not carry an injury designation and will be active for the Week 10 matchup.
Tuten has emerged as Jacksonville’s lead running back this season, rushing for 521 yards at an average of 4.3 yards per carry while scoring four touchdowns. His speed has allowed him to evade defenders and break off several long runs, making him a consistent threat on the ground. In addition to his rushing yards, Tuten has contributed in the passing game with 15 receptions for 181 yards and three touchdowns.
The Jaguars have maintained depth behind Tuten in the backfield. Chris Rodriguez, who was listed on the injury report with a hand injury this week, is also expected to play against the Titans. LeQuint Allen frequently enters the game on passing downs to provide pass protection, while Ameer Abdullah remains another option if needed.
Tuten’s availability will be a boost for Jacksonville’s offence as they prepare for the Titans, who have shown defensive resilience this season. The Jaguars have relied heavily on Tuten’s ability to create yards after contact and keep the offence moving. His return to practice Friday eased concerns about his participation, and the team’s official status update confirmed he will be ready for Sunday.
Jacksonville’s approach to managing Tuten’s foot and ankle issues has allowed the running back to maintain his role amid a demanding schedule. With Tuten expected to play, the Jaguars can count on their primary rusher to try and exploit Tennessee’s run defence once again.
The latest update from Jaguars Wire confirms Tuten’s participation, signaling that he will remain a central figure in Jacksonville’s offensive plans as the team looks to build on its season so far.
