Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley reports that Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten “continues to look like one of the most explosive elements of the entire offense.”

The Jaguars hosted the first of three mandatory minicamp practices on Tuesday, and Tuten “left the defense firmly in his dust on several big runs.” Shipley notes that these are pad-less practices and tackling is not allowed, “but Tuten would not have even given them the chance” anyway. Everything changes once the pads go on, so we can only get so excited about Shipley’s consistently positive reporting on Tuten. That said, Tuten is still turning in showings worthy of consistently positive reports. The rug could be pulled quickly if RB Chris Rodriguez (foot) returns without issue for training camp, and RB LeQuint Allen remains entrenched as the passing down back. Shipley even complimented rookie RB J’Mari Taylor as seemingly being “the only running back who was able to go run-for-run with Tuten” on Tuesday. However, Tuten is making a case for a larger-than-expected workload, though. Continue to follow his development closely.
