Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has been designated as a game-time decision for Thursday night's contest against the Baltimore Ravens after missing practice sessions this week.
The second-year player's availability remains uncertain for the prime-time AFC matchup. Tuten did not participate in practice leading up to the game, raising questions about his readiness to face a formidable Ravens defense.
Head coach Doug Pederson and the Jaguars medical staff will evaluate Tuten's condition up until kickoff before making a final determination on his status. The team has not disclosed the specific nature of the issue keeping him sidelined during the practice week.
If Tuten is unable to play, Jacksonville will likely rely on a committee approach in the backfield, with Travis Etienne Jr. expected to handle the bulk of carries against Baltimore's stout run defense.
