Nic Bodiford· Nov 5, 2026
Previewing Week 9 running game matchups, Bodiford expects Jacksonville to win lopsidedly over a depleted Baltimore team, with Bhayshul Tuten sitting out and Chris Rodriguez taking over as lead back, while Joe Fagnano starts at quarterback for the Ravens. He also views Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman as an RB2 going forward.
“Jacksonville Jaguars No. 1 running back Bhayshul Tuten (foot/ankle) is ailing, and the team has no reason to play him in an expectedly lopsided victory over the injury-devastated Baltimore Ravens.”
