Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten a game-time call vs. Ravens
Archived — this story has rotated out of today’s deck. It is kept here in full.
The gist
Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten missed all week with ankle and foot injuries and will be a game-time decision Thursday at Baltimore.
Jacksonville's lead back is questionable, so his pregame test decides the backfield plan.
Background
Bhayshul Tuten is the Jacksonville Jaguars' starting running back in his first season as a starter, averaging 4.5 yards per carry with three rushing touchdowns and 15 catches for 181 yards and three more scores. He is coming off his best game of the season — 18 touches for 159 yards and two touchdowns in a 42-7 Week 8 win over the Colts — but ankle and foot injuries kept him out of practice all week. The 5-2 Jaguars, who lead the AFC South, play at Baltimore on Thursday night.
