Cowboys RB Miles Sanders (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. Patrik Walker of the team's official site reports that Sanders is headed for season-ending IR. That'd leave rookie Jaydon Blue as the No. 2 RB. It seems unlikely at this point that Blue will carve out enough work behind a healthy Javonte Williams to be a reliable fantasy play. But he's a Williams injury away from a big role in a high-scoring offense. Blue should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Cowboys RB Miles Sanders left Sunday night's game with an ankle injury. HC Brian Schottenheimer said Monday, though, that Sanders will "have the chance to play" in Sunday's game against the Jets, according to Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News. Sanders left in the second quarter against the Packers, leaving the whole backfield to Javonte Williams. Williams handled 20 of 22 RB carries for 85 yards and a TD. He caught all three of his targets for 15 more.

Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue is not listed on the Week 1 injury report and will play in Thursday night's opener vs. the Eagles. The rookie suffered a low-ankle sprain in the preseason finale but was a full participant in practice all week. He's not a recommended Week 1 fantasy starter but could eventually emerge as the top option in Dallas' backfield. Blue should be rostered in all fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue suffered a low-ankle sprain in the preseason finale and is "hopeful" to be ready for Week 1, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. We'll keep you updated on Blue's status leading up to the opener. He won't be a viable Week 1 fantasy play. The important thing is that he avoided a significant injury. The rookie remains a nice bench stash with a chance to earn a sizable role over the course of the season.

Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue injured his right ankle in Friday night's preseason game. He and HC Brian Schottenheimer didn't sound too concerned about the injury afterward. Blue carried nine times for 25 yards and a score before exiting.

Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue left practice Thursday with an ankle injury. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that he said he's "fine" after practice, but also that Blue's availability for Saturday's preseason opener is uncertain.

The Cowboys selected Texas RB Jaydon Blue with the 149th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Blue was expected to be the next big Texas RB after sophomore CJ Baxter went down with an injury. However, struggles with his vision early in 2024 led to a pass-catching role for the former four-star recruit. Blue also struggled with ball security, fumbling five times in ‘24 (and twice in '23). Blue still excelled in his receiving role and peaked with a 146-yard, two-TD receiving performance in the College Football Playoff vs. Clemson. Blue ran a 4.38 forty at the NFL Combine, despite nursing a torn groin muscle. His 4.25 Pro Day time may be more accurate to his actual speed.
