Cowboys Weigh Week 5 Activation for Rookie RB Jaydon Blue

Coach Brian Schottenheimer says the first-year back is "very close" to dressing after showing steadier work in practice.

Overview

  • Jaydon Blue has been inactive for the first four games of the season and has yet to make his Cowboys debut.
  • Week 5 at the Jets could provide his first opportunity to be active, particularly if Miles Sanders' ankle limits his availability.
  • Schottenheimer has not committed to a decision, citing the need for trust in pass protection, ball security and playbook command.
  • Dallas leads the NFL in offensive yardage without Blue, which lessens pressure to alter the rotation immediately.
  • Javonte Williams has taken the lead role with 312 rushing yards, four touchdowns and a 5.0 yards-per-carry average, with Sanders previously operating as RB2.
