Jaydon Blue Signs With Eagles' Practice Squad After Cowboys Cut

Philadelphia added a low‑risk, high‑speed developmental back whose path to the 53‑man roster depends on improved pass protection and special‑teams play.

Overview

  • Blue was waived by Dallas on final roster cuts, cleared waivers and has now joined the Eagles' practice squad.
  • The former 2025 fifth-round pick from Texas showed burst in camp and preseason with 23 carries for 94 yards, including a 75-yard outing versus Arizona.
  • Blue played sparingly for the Cowboys in 2025, appearing in five games and logging limited regular-season snaps.
  • Scouts and reports say his upside is his straight-line speed and receiving ability but he must tighten pass protection, show more consistent play and contribute on special teams to stick on an active roster.
  • Philadelphia views the signing as low-cost depth behind Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley and as a potential call-up option if injuries or performance create an opening.
