Bhayshul Tuten News, Rumors, Updates - Virginia Tech Hokies

Spotted at practice Tuten (undisclosed) was spotted at practice Wednesday, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Tuten was termed questionable on Tuesday, but his participation in practice is obviously a good sign that the tailback will be able to go against the Blue Devils. Tuten didn't practice during the bye week and was extremely limited the week prior against Clemson, but he appears to be trending towards playing come Saturday.

Questionable Week 13 Tuten (ankle) has been termed questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Blue Devils, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Tuten, who sat out in Week 10 against Syracuse before making a limited return in Week 11 against Clemson, remains questionable to suit up for the Hokies following their Week 12 bye. The 5-foot-11 senior back has appeared in nine games this season, posting 146 carries for 950 yards and 12 touchdowns, adding on 20 receptions for 77 yards and two receiving touchdowns through the passing game. Tuten's status for Saturday's game will continue to be monitored throughout the week.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice during bye Tuten (ankle) didn't practice during Virginia Tech's bye week session, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact This is somewhat expected considering Tuten dealt with an ankle injury that limited him against Clemson. It's also expected because Virginia Tech is known to give its veterans a break on bye weeks. Tuten's next game isn't until Nov. 23, so he has plenty of time to heal that ankle beforehand.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Extremely limited in return Tuten (ankle) posted four rushes for zero yards and caught all two targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 24-14 loss against Clemson.

Impact Tuten clearly wasn't himself against Clemson. Virginia Tech barely bothered to try to establish the running game, but when it did, Tuten found absolutely nothing on the ground. He missed just one game with his ankle injury, but it's fair to question his status for next week as the star tailback is clearly still dealing with some setbacks.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Exits game in Week 11 Tuten (ankle) exited Saturday's game against Clemson with an apparent ankle injury, Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times reports.

Impact Tuten appears unlikely to return to the contest with Jeremiah Coney taking over at running back on the next drive. The 5-foot-11 senior tallied 21 yards on six touches prior to leaving the game.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Looks set to play Saturday Tuten (lower leg) appears set to play Saturday versus Clemson, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.

Impact Tuten was officially listed as a game-time decision Saturday but all signs pointed towards him suiting up. It looks as if that will be the case and he will return after a one week absence.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Going through warmups Tuten (lower leg) was dressed and warming up ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Clemson, per Damien Sordelett of The Roanoke Times.

Impact Tuten will have a chance to make his return after missing last week's loss Syracuse, and how he fairs during warmups will likely determine his availability for Saturday's game. If Tuten ends up being unable to play, Jeremiah Coney would start in his place as Malachi Thomas has already been ruled out with an undisclosed injury.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Saturday Tuten (lower leg) is officially a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Clemson, although there is optimism that he will suit up, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Tuten was able to practice during the week after missing last Saturday's loss to Syracuse. Although his status will not be determined until after pre-game warmups, there appears to be a good chance that he will give it a go versus Clemson. If he ends up not playing, Malachi Thomas would be set to start at running back.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Wednesday Tuten (lower leg) was "moving around fine" in practice Wednesday and is trending in the right direction toward being available for Saturday's game against Clemson, David Cunningham...

Impact Tuten remains questionable for Saturday's clash against the Tigers, but the fact that the running back was moving around fine during Wednesday's session is certainly an encouraging sign. Tuten has been limited to just eight games this season, but he has racked up 950 yards and 12 touchdowns in just 142 carries. His average of 6.7 yards per carry is a personal-best mark for the senior.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Tuten (lower leg) is questionable for the Hokies' clash with Clemson on Saturday, David Cunningham of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Tuten didn't play against Syracuse. Malachi Thomas took the majority of the carries in his absence, although Jeremiah Coney wound up leading Virginia Tech in rushing. Both tailbacks figure to see touches once again if Tuten can't go against the Tigers.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for second half Tuten (lower leg) won't play in the second half against Syracuse, per David Cunningham of Tech Sideline.

Impact Tuten will finish the day with just one carry for one yard after he was initially ruled a game-time decision. Malachi Thomas and Jeremiah Coney should continue to split reps in his absence. The senior Tuten's status will be worth monitoring ahead of next week's matchup with Clemson.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Tuten (lower leg) is not starting Saturday's game at Syracuse, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.

Impact Tuten, who was a game-time decision, did not start Saturday's game as Malachi Thomas saw the first reps at running back. This does not rule Tuten out, but it's certainly not a good sign.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Considered game-time call Tuten (lower leg) is still considered a game-time decision Saturday versus Syracuse, Brent Axe of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Tuten joined the Hokies for warmups, though he was seen heading to the locker room early, according to David Cunningham of the Tech Sideline. If Tuten ultimately can't play, Malachi Thomas figures to lead the Virginia Tech backfield.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up Saturday Tuten (lower leg) has been spotted warming up ahead of the Hokies' clash with Syracuse, per Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines.

Impact Tuten reportedly has his cleats and ankles taped while giving it a go in early warm-ups. Tuten remains firmly questionable, but it's clear that the tailback is doing everything in his power to play after it was reported that he's firmly questionable after being limited in practice. The star running back has 950 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns this fall.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Appears limited in practice Tuten (lower leg) didn't partake in Virginia Tech's practice during the media's viewing portion, Andy Bitter of Tech Sidelines reports.

Impact Tuten was seen practicing without a non-contact jersey, but reportedly didn't participate in the session at all while media was allowed to watch. The star tailback was considered probable earlier in the week due to positive reports about his availability and confidence from his teammates that he'd play, but this could throw a wrench in Tuten's availability if he's suffered a mid-week setback. The Hokies' top dog in the backfield is now firmly questionable for Saturday.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Full participant in practice Tuten (lower leg) was a full participant at Virginia Tech's practice Wednesday.

Impact Tuten was seen practicing and without a non-contact jersey. This coupled with reports from earlier in the week saying the tailback is extremely likely to play seems to indicate beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tuten will play at Syracuse. He's been one of the most dynamic backs in the sport this fall, rushing for 950 yards and 12 touchdowns already.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Week 10 Tuten (lower leg) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Syracuse, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports.

Impact Tuten, who was spotted wearing a boot after Saturday's win over Georgia Tech, is not expected to miss any time as a result of his injury. The 5-foot-11 senior has been a monster for the Hokies this season, posting 142 carries for 950 yards (6.7 per carry), and 12 touchdowns across eight games. Tuten should be good to go for VT, but if he is ultimately unable to suit up, Malachi Thomas and Jeremiah Coney would likely split backfield duties for the Hokies.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Tame output in win Tuten (lower leg) tallied 17 rushes for 79 yards and gathered in 2 of 3 targets for five yards during Saturday's 21-6 win against Georgia Tech.

Impact After exploding for 266 yards against Boston College, Tuten had a quieter - but still effective - day against Georgia Tech. His streak of seven straight games with. touchdown to open the season was snapped, but the tailback remained a viable weapon for this offense. He'll look to get back into the end zone next week at Syracuse, so long as his lower leg injury doesn't prevent him from suiting up.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Observed in walking boot Tuten was observed wearing a walking boot after Saturday's game against Georgia Tech, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.

Impact Tuten exited the game late but was able to return to the sidelines, indicating the injury may not be severe. The senior running walk totaled 16 carries for 72 yards while also reeling in two receptions for five yards before his departure.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Exits late Saturday Tuten departed Saturday's game late with an apparent injury, but he was spotted on the sidelines at the end of the game, The Tech Lunch Pail reports.

Impact Tuten reportedly made a trip to the locker, so the fact that he returned to the sidelines at the end is at least a good sign. Even so, Tuten's status for next week should be monitored, and it would be a huge blow for the Hokies if he can't suit up. Malachi Thomas seems likely next in line if he's unable to play.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Monster day vs. BC Tuten totaled 18 rushes for 266 yards and three touchdowns and hauled in their only target for 20 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 42-21 win over Boston College.

Impact Tuten's remarkable season just keeps rolling on. He scored four times and racked up nearly 300 yards rushing. Virginia Tech got out to an early lead and then let Tuten do the rest. He's now ran for at least 115 yards in all but two games this fall, and scored a touchdown in every game, with 14 in total thus far. Tuten once again dominated the carries for Virginia Tech and will look to keep his extraordinary season rolling next week against Georgia Tech.
