The Jacksonville Jaguars are trying to hold on and claim an AFC South Division title.
They'll have to do it without Bhayshul Tuten.
The rookie RB is injured, having sustained a finger ailment during Sunday's win over the New York Jets.
Tuten is set to undergo surgery, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, who adds that Tuten "should be back for the playoffs."

Tuten was a fourth-round pick by the Jags out of Virginia Tech.
The 5-foot-9, 209-pound rookie has been a supplement to Travis Etienne Jr. This season.
In 14 games, Tuten has run 78 times for 284 yards and four touchdowns. He has added 10 catches for 79 yards and two TDs.
Etienne should carry the bulk of the load the rest of the regular season.

The Jaguars' other regular active roster RB is fellow rookie LeQuint Allen Jr., who was a seventh-rounder out of Syracuse and has almost exclusively been used on passing downs so far this season.
The Jags also have one RB on the practice squad, Ja'Quinden Jackson.
The Jaguars, through Week 15, are 10-4. The Texans are 9-5 and the Colts are 8-6.
Jacksonville closes out the season with trips to Denver and Indianapolis before hosting the Titans in Week 18.
