Bhayshul Tuten Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Colts vs Jaguars game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 30, 2025
Rushes for 17 yards, TD in win
Tuten rushed eight times for 17 yards and one touchdown in the Jaguars' 25-3 win over the Titans on Sunday. He added one catch for two yards on one target.
ANALYSIS
Tuten was out-carried 12 to eight by Travis Etienne, who also out-gained the rookie 28 to 17 on the ground. However, it was Tuten who found the end zone with a two-yard plunge in the third quarter. After rushing a season-high 15 times for 74 yards and one score in the Jaguars' Week 11 win over the Chargers, Tuten has carried the ball a total of 15 times for 34 yards (2.27 yards per carry) and one touchdown over the last two weeks. He hasn't done enough to close the gap on Etienne as the team's clear RB1. Tuten isn't much more than a fantasy bench stash.

Limited to 17 yards Sunday
Tuten rushed seven times for 17 yards while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Tuten was able to shake his injury designation during the practice week, but perhaps the ankle was still affecting him based off Sunday's poor results. Starter Travis Etienne -- who was dealing with a shoulder injury himself -- led Jacksonville's backfield with over 100 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Tuten was coming off a season-best 15-74-1 rushing line against the Chargers last week, so fantasy managers may want to hold through the rough patches in the event his role continues to expand down the stretch.

Cleared for Week 12, as is Etienne
Tuten (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tuten and Travis Etienne (shoulder) avoided Week 12 injury designations after three limited practices apiece. Both running backs were banged up coming out of Jacksonville's Week 11 win over the Chargers, though Etienne managed to finish that game while Tuten exited in the second half. Tuten had a career-high 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers, while Etienne posted 19 carries for 73 yards and two touchdowns in that game. Both running backs could play significant roles against the Cardinals.
Nov 20, 2025
Limited Thursday, just like Etienne
Tuten (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The same was true of Travis Etienne (shoulder), so the pair of running backs have followed identical practice patterns after a near-even split of the backfield workload in Week 11 against the Chargers. Etienne was able to finish out that game while Tuten departed in the second half. If either running back pulls ahead in terms of Friday's participation level, that could determine who will get most of the carries Sunday against a Cardinals defense that has allowed five total touchdowns to running backs over the past two games.
Nov 19, 2025
Manages limited practice
Tuten (ankle) and Travis Etienne (shoulder) both were limited participants in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Etienne's injury wasn't previously reported, while Tuten made an early exit from Sunday's 35-6 win over the Chargers. The rookie had his largest role of the season beforehand, with a 43 percent snap share and three more carries than Etienne (15-12) at the time of his early exit. It's possible Etienne hurting his shoulder was a factor there, so the workload split between them could be fluid, with health potentially a big part of the equation. Early signs are good for both running backs giving it a go this Sunday against the Cardinals.
Nov 16, 2025
Hurts ankle Sunday
Tuten was forced out of Sunday's game against the Chargers with an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Before his departure from the contest, Tuten carried 15 times for 74 yards and a TD, while working in tandem with Travis Etienne. While he's sidelined, LeQuint Allen is available to handle added RB snaps versus Los Angeles.
Nov 10, 2025
Minimal role in loss
Tuten carried four times for five yards and caught one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans. He also returned five kickoffs for 143 yards.
ANALYSIS
A week after tying his season high with 10 offensive touches and scoring his third touchdown of the season, Tuten worked as more of a true backup Sunday while setting a season low with just 10 yards from scrimmage. Starter Travis Etienne again dominated the backfield work with 18 touches, leaving Tuten locked into a secondary role.
Nov 3, 2025
Punches in third TD
Tuten carried nine times for 29 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for minus-three yards during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick tied his season high with 10 offensive touches and scored the third touchdown of his NFL career with a one-yard run in the fourth quarter, though starting running back Travis Etienne still dominated the backfield work with a season-high 27 touches. Fellow rookie tailback LeQuint Allen actually played 22 offensive snaps compared to Tuten's 20 but received just two touches. Tuten should continue to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 running back but doesn't offer much fantasy upside with Etienne still receiving the lion's share of the opportunities.
Oct 19, 2025
Five carries in blowout
Tuten rushed five times for 22 yards during Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The five carries are pretty standard for Tuten, though it's more notable in this contest given that starter Travis Etienne carried just eight times. That likely had more to do with a lopsided game script than anything else, but it's still worth noting with Tuten positioned as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback. The rookie fourth-round pick enters the bye week with 27 carries for 108 yards, six receptions for 59 yards and two total touchdowns in seven games.
Oct 13, 2025
Four touches in loss
Tuten carried twice for 14 yards and caught two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback but saw his smallest workload since the season opener Sunday. Tuten showcased his potential upside Week two with 10 touches for 74 yards, but in the ensuing four contests he's totaled just 16 carries for 55 yards and four receptions for 27 yards. He's likely to remain in a limited role as long as Travis Etienne remains healthy.
Oct 10, 2025
Clear for Week 6
Tuten (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Tuten was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate due to a lingering shoulder injury and then had a cap on his reps both Thursday and Friday. However, it won't stop him from continuing to serve as the Jaguars' No. 2 RB behind starter Travis Etienne. Such a role has amounted to 26 touches for 128 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs for Tuten over the last four games.
Oct 9, 2025
Stays limited in practice
Tuten (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Tuten has been a regular on Jaguars practice reports due to a shoulder injury since Week 3 prep, but he's been able to suit up for three consecutive contests, combining for 16 touches for 54 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD during that span. Assuming he's cleared ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, he'll continue to operate in a complementary role behind No. 1 RB Travis Etienne.
Oct 8, 2025
Remains limited by shoulder
Tuten (shoulder) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The Jaguars held a walkthrough Wednesday after beating the Chiefs on Monday night. Tuten has been limited by the shoulder issue in practice for the last few weeks but has yet to miss a game. With Travis Etienne healthy, Tuten hasn't seen enough touches to be anything more than a bench stash in fantasy to this point.
Oct 7, 2025
Does little in MNF win
Tuten rushed four times for six yards and caught one pass for five yards in the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
Tuten was limited during the practice week due to a shoulder injury, but he played his normal role, handling a handful of touches on 21 percent of the offensive snaps. With Travis Etienne healthy and handling the vast majority of the backfield opportunities in Jacksonville, Tuten is merely a bench stash in fantasy.
Oct 4, 2025
Ready for Week 5
Tuten (shoulder) was limited at practice Saturday but doesn't have a designation for Monday's game versus the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Tuten has had his practice reps managed in each of the last three weeks of game prep, but he's still been available to the Jaguars offense on game days. While Travis Etienne has been a workhorse out of the backfield this season, Tuten has received regular touches, turning 21 carries into 88 yards and one touchdown and three catches (on four targets) for 40 yards and another score through four contests.
Oct 3, 2025
Reps capped Friday
Tuten (shoulder) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Tuten has now had his reps managed for both of the Jaguars' first two practices of Week 5, giving him one more chance to potentially upgrade to full participation before Jacksonville decides whether he carries a designation into Monday's game against the Chiefs. Since the Jaguars traded away Tank Bigsby following Week 1, Tuten has operated as the No. 2 option in the backfield behind Travis Etienne over the subsequent three contests, averaging seven touches for 39 yards while scoring two touchdowns during that stretch.
Oct 2, 2025
Limited at practice Thursday
Tuten (shoulder) was limited at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Tuten sported a non-contact jersey during Thursday's session as the running back continues to manage a shoulder issue that he's played through over the last two weeks. Tuten now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level ahead of Monday night's game against the Chiefs.
Sep 29, 2025
Receives five touches Sunday
Tuten rushed four times for 14 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Tuten ditched his questionable tag from a lingering shoulder injury with full participation in Friday's practice session. The 23-year-old still took a back seat to starter Travis Etienne, who cracked the century mark in rushing yards while cashing in a long touchdown Sunday. Tuten will find it hard to generate consistent fantasy value so long as he is limited to a handful of carries like he has been early in the campaign. The fourth-round rookie should be treated as Etienne's handcuff heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Chiefs next Monday.
Sep 26, 2025
Cleared from injury report
Tuten (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
Tuten upgraded to full participation Friday, following limited sessions the previous two days. He played through the same injury last week, and Friday marked his first full practice participation since Week 3. Better health could lead to a few more snaps/touches, but Travis Etienne is still expected to lead the way in Jacksonville's backfield, where LeQuint Allen has been getting most of the third-down snaps.
Sep 25, 2025
Another limited showing
Tuten (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
For a second straight session to kick off Week 4 prep, Tuten operated with a cap on his reps due to a shoulder issue. The rookie fourth-round pick thus has one more chance to prove his health before the Jaguars potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game in San Francisco. Working behind Jacksonville's lead runner Travis Etienne, Tuten still has notched 17 carries for 74 yards and one touchdown and two catches (on three targets) for 32 yards and another score through the first three contests of his career.
Sep 24, 2025
Limited at practice Wednesday
Tuten (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Tuten -- who was also limited at practice last week -- sported a red (non-contact) tank during Wednesday's session. The running back was able to play in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Texans, carrying six times for 21 yards and a touchdown, while recording a 17 percent snap share in the contest.
Sep 21, 2025
Scores rush TD in win
Tuten rushed six times for 21 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Jaguars' 17-10 win over the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie No. 2 back logged nine fewer carries than Travis Etienne, but he matched his backfield mate in rushing touchdowns by recording a one-yard scoring run in the first quarter. Tuten also tallied a receiving TD in Week 2, and it's clear he'll continue to operate in a reliable complementary role as the Jaguars travel to face the 49ers in Week 4.
Sep 19, 2025
Good to go for Week 3
Tuten (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Tuten was limited in practice this week, but he's done enough to avoid a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. Tuten should again operate as the Jaguars' RB2 behind Travis Etienne with Tank Bigsby out of the picture.
Sep 18, 2025
Remains limited Thursday
Tuten (shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
Tuten has posted back-to-back limited practices to open the week, putting his status for Week 3 against the Texans in question. If Tuten is unable to play versus Houston, LeQuint Allen and Cody Schrader would handle backup duties behind Travis Etienne.
Sep 17, 2025
Limited by shoulder injury
Tuten was limited in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Participation at the start of the week, even in a limited capacity, suggests Tuten has a good chance to play Sunday against the Texans. He impressed in a Week 2 loss at Cincinnati, taking 10 touches for 74 yards and a touchdown while playing 26 percent of Jacksonville's snaps on offense.
Sep 14, 2025
Scores receiving TD in loss
Tuten rushed eight times for 42 yards and secured both targets for 32 yards and a touchdown while also returning one kickoff for 26 yards in the Jaguars' 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
In his first game without the traded Tank Bigsby on the roster, Tuten served as the clear No. 2 back behind Travis Etienne, logging a relatively modest six fewer carries than his backfield mate. Tuten also struck for his first NFL touchdown through the air, as he recorded an eight-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter. Tuten's five-carry boost from Week 1 was encouraging and confirmation of his status as the main complementary option to Etienne, and he'll look to carry over his momentum into a Week 3 home divisional showdown against the Texans next Sunday afternoon.
Sep 9, 2025
Carries thrice in NFL debut
Tuten had three carries for 11 yards and returned one kickoff for 12 yards during Sunday's 26-10 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick finished fourth among Jacksonville's tailbacks with just four offensive snaps, though he still garnered three carries in the blowout. Both Tuten and rookie seventh rounder LeQuint Allen had minimal roles in the season opener, but the No. 2 job is wide open after the Jaguars traded Tank Bigsby to the Eagles on Monday. Travis Etienne is locked in as the starter after posting 156 yards from scrimmage Week 1, but Tuten and Allen are now positioned to compete for the backup job.
Aug 10, 2025
Third in RB rotation
Tuten rushed the ball six times for 24 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-25 preseason loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Tuten tied for the team lead in carries but served as the third back. Travis Etienne worked exclusively with the starting skill-position unit, with Tank Bigsby following him. That left Tuten to work primarily late in the second quarter and much of the second half. He did find the end zone from eight yards away early in the fourth quarter, but his role come the regular season is in question.
Aug 7, 2025
Favorite for No. 3 job
Tuten appears to be the early favorite to begin the season as Jacksonville's No. 3 running back after putting in another good practice Thursday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick was limited by a hamstring injury at the start of camp, but he's impressed since returning as a full practice participant over the weekend. Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby are locked in as Jacksonville's top tailbacks, but Tuten could position himself for a complementary role, especially if he performs well in preseason action.
Aug 3, 2025
Logs full practice Sunday
Tuten (hamstring) was a full participant in Sunday's training camp practice, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Tuten has been limited by a hamstring injury, but he was able to participate in team drills during Sunday's practice. The rookie fourth-rounder has been working to carve out a role for himself in the Jaguars' backfield but will be limited to backup duties while Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby work with the first-team offense. Saturday's preseason opener against the Steelers will give Tuten a good opportunity to showcase his abilities.
Jul 31, 2025
Back at practice
Tuten (hamstring) returned to the practice field Thursday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Tuten's hamstring issue wasn't a long-term concern, though O'Brien notes that the 2025 fourth-rounder was limited during team drills Thursday. Once Tuten is able to work fully, he'll continue to push for a role in the Jaguars' backfield, but so far in training camp Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby have handled the bulk of the reps with the team's top offense, per John Shipley of SI.com.
Jul 28, 2025
Dealing with hamstring injury
Tuten is dealing with a hamstring injury but isn't expected to miss extended time, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-round pick is hoping to push Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby for a role in Liam Coen's new-look Jacksonville offense. Coen doesn't consider the hamstring injury to be a major setback, but this could nonetheless hurt Tuten's chances of earning Week 1 playing time if he ends up missing more than a few days.
Apr 26, 2025
Joins Jaguars' backfield
The Jaguars selected Tuten in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 104th overall.
ANALYSIS
Tuten was lightly recruited coming out of high school but emerged as a key contributor at Virginia Tech during his final two years in college, combining to score 25 touchdowns while handling 356 total carries. He then helped his draft stock further by running an impressive 4.32 40-yard dash at the combine while also showing a lot of burst in short-area drills. Tuten's landing spot isn't likely to lead to production early in the 2025 season, as both Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby are in the mix, but this will be a situation worth monitoring with a new coaching staff making decisions.
