"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten will undergo surgery to repair a broken finger and will miss several weeks, a league source told ESPN. Tuten suffered the injury during the Jaguars' 48-20 victory over the New York Jets at EverBank Stadium. Tuten had one carry for seven yards and one catch, which went for a 16-yard touchdown, before leaving the game with the injury."
"Tuten, the team's fourth-round pick out of Virginia Tech, is the Jaguars' third-leading rusher with 284 yards and also has 10 catches for 79 yards. He and fellow rookie running back LeQuint Allen have split kick return duties. With Tuten out, Allen -- a seventh-round pick out of Syracuse -- ascends to the top backup behind Travis Etienne Jr. They're the only backs currently on the active roster. Ja'Quinden Jackson, a rookie undrafted free agent from Arkansas, is on the practice squad."
