Overview

• The Sporting News, citing the Star-Telegram’s Nick Harris, reports the fifth-round rookie is expected to be active Sunday, and Blue hinted at the news with an Instagram post.
• Miles Sanders left Week 4 with an injury, has missed consecutive practices, underwent an MRI, and plans to test his ankle Friday to gauge his chances for Week 5.
• Brian Schottenheimer said Blue is “very close” and stacking good practices, and OC Klayton Adams echoed that game-day decisions have been about opportunity and roster needs rather than punishment.
• If active, Blue would slot behind lead back Javonte Williams as a change-of-pace option and potential special-teams contributor; Williams has 312 rushing yards and four touchdowns through four games.
• Blue recovered from preseason ankle and heel issues, was seen in custom blue cleats at practice this week, and could debut behind a banged-up offensive line that has multiple starters dealing with injuries.
