Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten went down in the third quarter of their NFL Week 4 clash against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium. This wasn’t just another tackle, this was a moment that could completely shift the early season momentum for Jacksonville, and nobody saw it coming.
The Tackle That Stopped the Momentum
It happened after a four-yard gain, which isn’t huge on its own, but was another chip at the defense. Tuten was tackled by the Bengals’ Myles Murphy and TJ Slaton, and the moment he got up, you could tell something was wrong. He hobbled off the field, and everyone watching knew that wasn’t a good sign. When you see a player struggle to put weight on it, your stomach just drops.
What Tuten Was Bringing to Jacksonville
Before this play, Tuten was making a real name for himself, showing why the Jaguars snatched him up as a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Through the first three games this season, the guy had already racked up 43 carries for a solid 204 rushing yards, punching in two touchdowns. Those are some serious numbers for early October, and he was clearly a crucial piece of their offense. He was proving himself to be a reliable, effective back, and now, all that early season promise is hanging in the balance.
No word yet on what this means long-term for Tuten or the Jaguars, but losing a back with that kind of production so early in the season is a gut punch, plain and simple. Jacksonville’s going to be holding their breath waiting for an update, just like the rest of us.
