Overview

  • Blue exited in the second half of Friday’s game against the Falcons with a right-ankle injury to the same leg he hurt on Aug. 7.
  • The Cowboys ruled him out during the game, and team physician Dr. Jesse Morse said imaging is likely to determine the severity.
  • Morse indicated the injury appears to be a medial or high-ankle sprain and cautioned it could affect the start of Blue’s season.
  • Before leaving, the fifth-round pick logged 9 carries for 25 yards and a 1-yard touchdown in his preseason debut.
  • Blue had recently taken first-team reps ahead of veterans Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams, with roster cutdown on Aug. 26 and a Sept. 4 opener at the Eagles heightening the urgency.
