Cowboys Expect Rookie RB Jaydon Blue to Make Week 5 Debut vs. Jets

The activation reflects coaches’ confidence in his practice progress following Miles Sanders’ injury.

Overview

  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday it is trending toward Blue being active, with owner Jerry Jones calling a debut more than likely.
  • Miles Sanders missed practice all week with knee and ankle issues, creating the opening for Blue after four games as a healthy scratch.
  • Blue briefly dealt with blisters from Louis Vuitton Nike cleats at practice, switched footwear, and remained on track for availability.
  • If active, Blue is expected to work behind Javonte Williams as a change-of-pace option and could handle kick return duties.
  • Coaches have emphasized Blue’s improved consistency and practice performance, framing his earlier inactivity as opportunity-based rather than punitive.
