Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported the rookie sustained a low ankle sprain and is hopeful to be ready for the Sept. 4 opener against the Eagles.
  • Blue was ruled out in the second half of the preseason finale against the Falcons after re-injuring the same right ankle/heel area hurt in camp.
  • Before exiting, the fifth-round pick logged 9 carries for 25 yards and a 1-yard touchdown in his NFL preseason debut.
  • Earlier, team physician Dr. Jesse Morse noted the injury could be medial or high-ankle and said an MRI was likely, prompting initial uncertainty about his timeline.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Blue’s acceleration and said the team would be cautious, with roster cuts due Aug. 26 and a crowded backfield featuring Miles Sanders, Javonte Williams and Deuce Vaughn.
