The Cowboys’ rookie running back Jaydon Blue scored his first touchdown in his preseason debut Friday night:
But his night didn’t end the way he wanted it to end.
The Cowboys have ruled out Blue with an ankle injury.
It is the same right ankle/heel that he originally injured in an Aug. 7 training camp practice, according to the Cowboys broadcast. Blue only returned to practice Tuesday, missing almost two weeks.
The Cowboys start the season Sept. 4.
The fifth-round pick had nine carries for 25 yards, scoring on a 1-yard run. He was injured on a tackle by Falcons defensive lineman Simeon Barrow at the end of Blue’s 6-yard reception from Will Grier with 13:17 remaining in the game.
The play was negated by an offensive pass interference penalty on Josh Kelly.
