Overview

• An MRI confirmed that Blue has a heel bone bruise and he is resting in a walking boot ahead of the preseason opener.
• Jaydon Blue’s absence means Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders and other backups will see increased reps against the Rams.
• Although the injury is not expected to have lasting effects, it deprives Blue of crucial early game reps in his bid to secure a role.
• Tight end Jake Ferguson suffered a back contusion on Thursday and has returned to practice without setbacks.
• Depth chart adjustments during Schottenheimer’s first training camp highlight the Cowboys’ push for a more balanced run-pass offense.
