Cowboys' Jaydon Blue immediately fired his warning shot at NFL after breakout Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue is full of confidence after he scored his first career NFL touchdown.

JANUARY 4 • THELANDRYHAT.COM

Caps poor rookie year on high note 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.

Impact 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.

Impact A rookie fifth-round pick, Blue only suited up Weeks 5-8, when he combined for 22 carries for 65 yards and one catch (on one target) for five yards. Assuming he does lead the backfield Week 18, his competition for reps will be FB Hunter Luepke and potentially 2025 seventh-rounder Phil Mafah (shoulder), the latter of whom must be activated from IR on Saturday to have a chance to make his pro debut this weekend.

Healthy scratch again Week 17 Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against Washington, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Blue has fallen out of the Cowboys' running back rotation, as he hasn't played since Week 8. Dallas will carry just two running backs -- Javonte Williams and Malik Davis -- plus fullback Hunter Luepke into their Christmas Day matchup.

Not playing Week 16 Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact 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.

Healthy scratch Week 15 Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact The rookie fifth-rounder hasn't played since Week 8 against the Broncos, and his absence will extend to six games after being made inactive for Sunday night's contest. Blue is unlikely to play unless one of Javonte Williams or Malik Davis were to miss time.

Blue remains behind Javonte Williams and Malik Davis on the Cowboys' depth chart.

Impact Blue has now been made a healthy scratch in four consecutive games, ever 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.

Blue has also gained just 65 yards on 22 carries this year.
