The Dallas Cowboys got news on rookie running back Jaydon Blue. He has a low ankle sprain.
Blue made his preseason debut for the Cowboys on Friday night after missing time with a right ankle injury. He impressed and looked the part, but ultimately wound up injuring the same right ankle and left the game.
Following the preseason finale head coach Brian Schottenheimer noted that the Cowboys did not believe it was a serious thing for Blue and while the words “low ankle sprain” should not be treated lightly, this report lines up with that line of thought.
As of today, the Cowboys’ Week 1 contest on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles is 11 days from now so it certainly makes sense that Blue could be ready for it. Ultimately Blue is obviously going to be a part of the 53-man roster that gets finalized on Tuesday (and then in the immediate days after as changes happen) as this is thankfully not some sort of long-term thing.
