Blue was signed to the Eagles' practice squad Thursday.
Blue was waived by Philadelphia on Tuesday, but he has now returned as a member of the team's practice unit. The running back was active for the team's Week 6 loss to the Panthers, but he did not appear in the contest. Blue will now look to earn an elevation to the active roster again this season.

The Eagles have waived Blue.
In addition to Blue being let go Tuesday, the Eagles waived Carson Steele (undisclosed) with an injury designation, while Elijah Mitchell was signed to the team's practice squad. For now, Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Dameon Pierce are the only two running backs on Philadelphia's active roster.

Eagles' Jaydon Blue: Doesn't play in Week 6
Rotowire
Blue did not play in Sunday's 25-14 loss to the Panthers.
Blue was signed to the Eagles' active roster ahead of Week 6, but the running back did not appear in the team's loss. Dameon Pierce handled all 12 of the team's carries and caught four of five targets for 15 yards while operating as the team's primary option in the backfield. If Saquon Barkley (hamstring) remains sidelined in Week 7, Blue will likely get another shot to make his Eagles debut versus Dallas.

Eagles' Jaydon Blue: Signs to active roster
Rotowire

Blue appeared in five games with Dallas as a rookie last regular season, rushing 38 times for 129 yards and a touchdown.

Jaydon Blue: Heading to Philly
Rotowire
Blue is slated to sign with the Eagles' practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
A fifth-round pick of the Cowboys in 2025, Blue got some run as a rookie with 38 carries for 129 yards (3.4 YPC) and one touchdown in five regular-season appearances, although most of that production came in Week 18. Dallas opted to waive him Sunday and then didn't re-sign him to the practice squad, allowing the team's NFC East rivals to swoop in. Blue will be a candidate for elevation if any of Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby or Will Shipley get injured.

Jaydon Blue: Cut loose by Cowboys
Rotowire
Blue is being waived by the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Dallas reportedly has moved on from two RBs on cut-down day, the other being Phil Mafah. The moves indicate that Malik Davis has claimed the No. 2 role behind starter Javonte Williams, though one or both of Blue and Mafah could wind up back on the team's practice squad if they clear waivers.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Misses practice with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Blue missed Tuesday's joint practice with the Saints due to a shoulder injury, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Blue handled 10 touches in the Cowboys's preseason opener last weekend, amassing 34 yards. He's expected to get plenty of run this preseason in his battle for the RB2 job behind Javonte Williams, but if Blue is unable to play through a shoulder issue this coming Saturday against the Cardinals, Malik Davis and Phil Mafah (chest) would likely get additional chances to state their case for the job.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Will get ample work in preseason
Rotowire
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday that Blue and Phil Mafah will both "get a ton of work" during the preseason, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Blue and Mafah are "in a heated battle" for the top backup spot behind Javonte Williams, per Schottenheimer. Dallas' initial depth chart lists Blue second behind Williams, ahead of Mafah and Malik Davis. Blue was a fifth-round pick of the Cowboys in 2025, going two rounds ahead of Mafah. The Cowboys will kick off preseason play Saturday in Seattle.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: In mix for backfield role
Rotowire
Blue is competing with Malik Davis and Phil Mafah for No. 2 running back reps behind starter Javonte Williams at OTAs, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
Blue, a 2025 fifth-round pick, was a healthy scratch for 12 games as a rookie and only tallied 38 carries for 129 yards and one score across the five regular-season appearances he did log. Among those games was Dallas' regular-season finale against the Giants in Week 18, however, in which Blue stepped into the No. 1 role with both Williams and Davis sidelined, totaling 16 carries for 64 yards and his sole career score. Blue is undersized at 5-foot-9, 196 pounds, but he boasts 4.38-second 40 speed and could carve out a change-of-pace role behind Williams with a strong offseason.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Caps poor rookie year on high note
Rotowire
Blue rushed 16 times for 64 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.
Blue spent most of his rookie season as a healthy inactive, but he took on the lead-back role in the regular-season finale as the Cowboys played without Javonte Williams (shoulder) and Malik Davis (eye/calf). Blue made the most of his opportunity, scoring his first NFL touchdown on a 14-yard run in the first quarter. The 2025 fifth-round pick will try to carve out a larger role in his second NFL campaign after dressing for only five games as a rookie. Blue had 38 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown while catching his only target for five yards across those five appearances.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: In line to lead backfield
Rotowire
Blue is set to lead the Cowboys backfield Sunday at the Giants with Javonte Williams (shoulder/neck) and Malik Davis (calf/eye) ruled out for the contest, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
A rookie fifth-round pick, Blue has previously seen action for the Cowboys from Weeks 5 through 8, when he combined for 22 carries for 65 yards and one catch (on one target) for five yards. Assuming he leads the backfield Week 18, his competition for reps will be fullback Hunter Luepke and potentially 2025 seventh-round pick Phil Mafah (shoulder), the latter of whom must be activated from injured reserve Saturday in order to play Sunday.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Not playing Week 16
Rotowire
Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Blue has not played since Week 8, and that trend will continue Sunday as the Cowboys go with Javonte Williams and Malik Davis as the two active running backs. The Cowboys were eliminated from playoff contention following the Eagles' 29-18 win over the Commanders on Saturday, so it's possible that Blue gets some run time during the final two games of the regular season.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Healthy scratch Week 15
Rotowire
Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
The rookie fifth-rounder hasn't played since Week 8 against the Broncos, and his absence will extend to six games after he was made inactive for Sunday night's contest. Blue is unlikely to play unless one of Javonte Williams or Malik Davis misses time.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Inactive for Thursday's game
Rotowire
Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Chiefs, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Blue has now been made a healthy scratch in four consecutive games since he committed a fumble versus the Broncos in Week 8. In place of the rookie fifth-round pick, Malik Davis will continue to operate the No. 2 option behind workhorse starter Javonte Williams in Dallas' backfield.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Healthy scratch again
Rotowire
Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
The running back is now a healthy scratch for the third consecutive game. Blue has been the third running back on Dallas' depth chart since committing a fumble in Week 8, with Malik Davis taking his spot behind starter Javonte Williams. Blue has also gained just 65 yards on 22 carries this year.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Eight totes in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Blue gained 29 yards on eight carries in Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.
About half of the rookie's yardage came on one 14-yard run, which was the longest of the day by any Cowboys player. Blue remains firmly behind Javonte Williams in the pecking order for touches out of the backfield, but he's beginning to see enough work to flash occasional glimpses of his upside. Over the last two games -- one blowout win and one blowout loss -- Blue has compiled 58 yards on 15 carries, while catching his only target for five yards.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Available for pro debut
Rotowire
Blue is listed as active Sunday at the Jets.
After being a healthy scratch for each of the Cowboys' first four games of the season, Blue will be available to make his pro debut Week 5. The rookie fifth-round pick will be one of the reserves behind starter Javonte Williams along with FB Hunter Luepke, as Miles Sanders (knee/ankle) is inactive. Blue averaged 5.7 yards per carry, recorded 56 catches for 503 yards and scored 18 total touchdowns in 29 games in his final two collegiate campaigns at Texas.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Miles Sanders (ankle) was injured in Week 4 against Green Bay, and if he's out then maybe Blue gets a chance to make his season debut against the Jets. He could be No. 2 on the depth chart behind Javonte Williams, and Blue is worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Cowboys' Jaydon Blue: Healthy scratch yet again
Rotowire
