Cowboys Leave Door Open for Rookie RB Jaydon Blue as Season Turns to Evaluation

Coach Brian Schottenheimer says playing time depends on meeting preparation standards.

Overview

  • With playoff odds effectively negligible, Dallas has three games left that the staff can use to assess younger players.
  • Blue has been active in four games and has 22 rushes for 65 yards, and he has not played since the late-October loss in Denver.
  • Schottenheimer acknowledged Blue’s talent but reiterated that snaps must be earned through consistency, professionalism and preparation.
  • Blue briefly backed up Javonte Williams around Week 5 before being overtaken on the depth chart by Malik Davis by Week 9.
  • The fifth-round pick arrived with 4.38 speed and notable production at Texas, yet multiple reports cite maturity and work-ethic concerns that have kept him sidelined.
