The Philadelphia Eagles added four players to their practice squad—Danny Gray (wide receiver), Kiran Amegadjie (offensive tackle), Robert Longerbeam (cornerback) and Jaydon Blue (running back)—raising the squad to 17 members (one over the typical 16 due to an international exemption for Uar Bernard), further increasing depth behind the 53-man roster.
Former Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue went unclaimed on waivers and becomes a free agent who can sign with any team or land on Dallas' practice squad; only Emari Demercado was claimed during the waiver period, and Blue’s fantasy value has faded with a tough path to a meaningful NFL role, though he could end up back with Dallas or elsewhere.
Dallas’ initial 53-man roster includes undrafted rookie Camden Brown at wide receiver after a standout camp and preseason, while Jaydon Blue was left off the roster (likely to hit waivers or the practice squad). Dallas also boosted offensive-line depth with a trade for Broderick Jones and moved Nate Thomas to Houston, kept a two-quarterback backup setup behind Dak Prescott (Sam Howell and Joe Milton), and placed Marist Liufau and Devin Moore on Reserve/Injured-Designated for Return. The cuts reflect ongoing battles at cornerback, running back depth, and special-teams considerations as Dallas continues to shape its 53-man roster.
Dallas Cowboys waived running back Jaydon Blue, a 2025 fifth-round pick who had a disappointing rookie year with just 39 touches and failed to beat out Malik Davis for the No. 2 RB behind Javonte Williams.

Dallas Cowboys waived 2025 fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue as part of the final 53-man roster moves, with reports also waiving Phil Mafah.

Rotoworld’s 2026 fantasy sleeper list highlights Keaton Mitchell (RB, Chargers) and Jaydon Blue (RB, Cowboys) as top sleepers, with early camp buzz suggesting Mitchell could become more involved in the passing game and Blue earning a second chance in a pass-happy offense; the piece also features other sleepers across RBs, WRs and TEs such as Wan’Dale Robinson, Dallas Goedert, Cyrus Allen, and KC Concepcion, emphasizing value relative to draft position.
Dallas’ padded practices in Oxnard spotlight two players who could lift the offense: second-year running back Jaydon Blue, whose speed and receiving ability could reintroduce a strong screen game behind starter Javonte Williams, and wide receiver Ryan Flournoy, who has earned Dak Prescott’s trust and could push toward 700-800 receiving yards as the clear No. 3 option, potentially elevating Dallas’ passing game even with Lamb and Pickens as the top targets.

On the downside, Marquez Valdes-Scantling dropped a few passes and Tyler Guyton had an uneven start at left tackle.

The evaluation highlights the need for growth and better utilization of Mafah and Blue in the future.
