Dallas Cowboys rookie Jaydon Blue, slotted as the No. 3 running back for the team’s preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams, exited Thursday’s practice with a lower body injury.
A fifth-round pick out of Texas, Blue took a handoff and was taken down by his facemask by Sam Williams. Blue fell to the ground awkwardly and was carted off the field, though he was able to limp his way from the medical tent under his own power to the locker room.
Following practice, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that the running back would be re-evaluated by team staff, adding that he did not believe the injury to be significant.
Blue has reportedly impressed the Dallas coaching staff since arriving with the Cowboys and was sure to see plenty of reps in the preseason.
In three years at Texas, Blue rushed for 1,161 yards and 11 touchdowns, including 730 yards on 5.4 yards per carry and eight scores a year ago. He also totaled 368 receiving yards and six TDs in 2024.
