Jaydon Blue Injury: Not returning Friday

Blue won't return to Friday's preseason game versus the Falcons due to a right ankle injury, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Blue hauled in a screen pass from Will Grier early in the fourth quarter and stayed down after being tackled, before making his way to the sideline under his own power and heading to the blue medical tent to be evaluated. Not longer afterward, the rookie fifth-rounder was ruled out, finishing his night with 25 rushing yards and a TD on nine carries and his lone reception wiped out by a penalty. Blue has been competing for a role in a Cowboys backfield that also includes Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, both of whom were DNPs on Friday.
