Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten is listed as questionable for Thursday night's Week 9 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens after missing all practices this week with ankle and foot injuries. The Jaguars (5-2) travel to face the Ravens (4-4) as 10-point road favorites.
According to an ESPN report, Tuten is expected to play barring any pregame setbacks. The second-year back is coming off his best performance of the season in Week 8, when he rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and added two catches for 55 yards and a touchdown in a 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. That made him the first Jaguars player since Maurice Jones-Drew in 2007 to record 100-plus rushing yards, 50-plus receiving yards and multiple touchdowns in a single game. It was also Tuten's first career 100-yard rushing game. This season he is the only NFL player with three or more rushing touchdowns and three or more receiving touchdowns.
If Tuten cannot play, fourth-year veteran Chris Rodriguez Jr. would assume the lead back role. Rodriguez has 209 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 45 carries this season, including a 28-yard touchdown run against the Colts.
The Ravens will start undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano at quarterback, making his first NFL start as the team's third-string option.
