Jaydon Blue Set for Expanded Role with Eagles Amid Running Back Injury Crisis

With five Philadelphia Eagles running backs sidelined by injuries, including Saquon Barkley missing practice with hamstring and back issues, 22-year-old Jaydon Blue is expected to see significant action Sunday night against the Commanders. The speedy back, who ran a 4.38 40-yard dash at the Combine, was re-signed to the 53-man roster after spending time on the practice squad. Blue posted 122 yards on 38 carries with Dallas as a rookie in 2025 and is ready to capitalize on his opportunity.
