Jaydon Blue was called up from the practice squad on Wednesday as the Eagles' only healthy running back on the active roster if Saquon Barkley cannot play. As a rookie with the Cowboys last season, Blue logged 38 carries for 129 rushing yards (3.4 average) and one reception for five receiving yards, offering limited upside in a backup role.

If Barkley cannot play, Jaydon Blue is the only healthy running back on the Eagles' active roster. Blue was called up from the practice squad on Wednesday. As a rookie with the Dallas Cowboys last season, Blue logged 38 carries for 129 rushing yards (3.4 average) and one reception for five receiving yards. The source characterizes the Eagles' potential backfield of Blue and Elijah Mitchell as "not exactly the most inspiring."

With Saquon Barkley's availability in doubt and Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce on IR, and Carson Steele released with an injury designation, Jaydon Blue (on the 53-man roster) is one of just two healthy running backs available for the Eagles alongside Elijah Mitchell (on the practice squad).

Blue's NFL production to date is limited: 38 carries for 122 yards (3.4 average) across five games with the Cowboys as a rookie. His best performance came in one game with double-digit carries—16 carries for 64 yards (4.0 average) against the Giants on the final day of last season, suggesting modest efficiency when given volume.

Blue's elite athleticism—4.38 40-time at the Combine (2nd-fastest among 24 RBs) and 4.25 at Texas pro day—combined with his self-described versatility (outside runs, pass protection, between/outside tackles) positions him as a potential breakout candidate in an emergency role. At 22 years old, he has been patient learning the Eagles offense and expressed readiness to capitalize on opportunities.

Blue will likely be active Sunday night against the Commanders as the Eagles face a running back injury crisis with Saquon Barkley (hamstring and back injuries), Will Shipley, Tank Bigsby, Dameon Pierce, and Carson Steele all on Injured Reserve. Blue was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 1 behind multiple backs but has now been elevated to the 53-man roster due to the injury cascade.

Blue's sleeper value is directly tied to Saquon Barkley's health status; if Barkley's hamstring and back are cleared, Blue is a no-go. Blue was elevated off the practice squad this week as the Philadelphia running back room has started to resemble the Spinal Tap drummer lineup, and clarity on Barkley may not come until Sunday night.

Signed to the active roster from the practice squad on Oct. 28 with three Eagles running backs on the Reserve/Injured list and Saquon Barkley dealing with hamstring and back injuries. Blue could end up starting against Washington in Week 8, representing a significant jump in usage for a player with only 38 career carries; if he becomes the only healthy back, he could have streaming potential.

Blue was signed from the Eagles' practice squad to replace Pierce on the 53-man roster after Pierce was placed on IR. The former Cowboys fifth-round pick logged 129 yards and a touchdown on 38 carries as a rookie before being surprisingly released by Dallas ahead of his second season. Blue is now technically Barkley's backup on the Eagles' depth chart heading into Week 8, though it remains unclear whether he will get the bulk of the workload at the position.

A fifth-round pick of the Cowboys in 2025, Blue had 34 rushes for 129 yards and a touchdown in five games for Dallas before joining the Eagles.

Waived by Eagles. Community mocks Blue's failed hype cycle: was a 'must-stash' rookie last year, hyped as potential breakout, but never materialized. Top comment (242 upvotes): 'Blue not gonna ever happen.' Repeated theme: every rookie RB gets hype until they don't; Blue is the cautionary tale. One comment notes he was on 'everyone's must stash list' last year. Another: 'How bad do you have to be to get waived by the Eagles at this point?' Sentiment is overwhelmingly negative; no fantasy upside discussed.

Blue, a fifth-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2025 NFL Draft, was signed to the Eagles' practice squad on the last day of August, then signed to the roster on Friday to be a third running back behind Pierce and Steele. However, even with Steele getting injured early, the Eagles did not trust Blue to play any snaps for them on offense or special teams, leading to his waiver release. He may be brought back on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
