Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Chargers with a right ankle injury. The rookie was playing a big role before exiting in the third quarter, carrying 15 times for 74 yards and a score. We'll update his status when we know more.

The Jaguars scored all three of their TDs on the ground in Sunday's win over the Raiders, but lead RB Travis Etienne got none of them. QB Trevor Lawrence scored from 7 yards out early in the fourth quarter and then again from a yard out in OT. RB Bhayshul Tuten scored the other rushing TD from a yard out, also in the fourth quarter. And that score came in a particularly bothersome spot. Etienne sound up with 84 rushing yards on 22 carries and a nice 5-31 receiving line on five targets.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne Jr. ran for a season-low 27 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He averaged just 2.3 yards across 12 carries but did help his PPR line with 4 receptions for 28 yards among five targets.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne rushed 14 times for 71 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He added 2 catches, 18 yards, and 1 score through the air.

No matter how you look at it, Travis Etienne dominated the Week 1 Jacksonville backfield. The rushing numbers are obvious. He racked up a 16-143 rushing line. A 71-yard second-quarter run delivered a big boost; but even without that, his other 15 rushes averaged 4.8 yards. Etienne also played 40 of 66 offensive snaps (60.6%) vs. just 14 for Tank Bigsby, nine for LeQuint Allen, and four for Bhayshul Tuten. Etienne's 15 pass routes also accounted for more than half of the backfield's total. Bigsby and Allen combined for the other 13.

John Shipley of Sports Illustrated believes the Jaguars will look to move either RB Travis Etienne or Tank Bigsby.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne got the start in Jacksonville’s preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. Despite a potential RB competition, Etienne played every snap with Jacksonville’s starting offense. Etienne could be the best fit for HC Liam Coen’s offense, according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated.

Tank Bigsby has been the Jaguars' best RB and has received the most first-team touches in training camp so far, according to multiple beat writers. Sports Illustrated's John Shipley wrote that Friday's practice was the "Tank Bigsby Show."

Jacksonville's backfield will be one of the most interesting to watch through summer. SI.com Jaguars beat writer weighed in (mildly) this week by positing, "My guess is Travis Etienne is the lead running back." That came as part of a full 53-man roster projection, and he followed that with "but all four get some run at some point." The other three: Tank Bigsby, fourth-round rookie Bhayshul Tuten, and seventh-round rookie LeQuint Allen. The standing seems particularly noteworthy for Etienne because he's been a subject of recent trade rumors.

The Athletic’s Jeff Howe calls RB Bhayshul Tuten the biggest value pick of the Jags’ 2025 rookie class and believes he can earn a Year 1 role. GM James Gladstone selected Tuten in Round 4 (pick No. 104) of April's draft.

The Jaguars selected Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten in Round 4 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Tuten carried the Virginia Tech offense for two years after transferring from North Carolina A&T. He posted two straight seasons of 1,000+ total yards and 10+ TDs. It’s easy to love his explosion and toughness on film, especially given the number of stacked boxes that he faced. Physically, Tuten is an absolute freak. At the Combine, he proved it with a 4.32 forty time, a 10’10” broad jump, and a 40.5” vertical. He’s also able to bench press 400 pounds. Overall, he tallied an excellent 9.32 Relative Athletic Score at 5’9, 206 pounds. If he can clean up the drops and fumbles, Tuten could supply some explosive plays in the NFL.
