The Eagles announced on Tuesday that the team has waived running back Jaydon Blue.
Blue signed with the Eagles' practice squad before the start of the season and was signed to the active roster ahead of the Week 6 game against the Panthers. However, he was released from the active roster the following week and rejoined the practice squad. With Dameon Pierce placed on Injured Reserve after Week 7's matchup versu the Cowboys, Blue returned to the 53-man roster ahead and was the primary kickoff returner against the Commanders and Giants.
Selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Texas, Blue appeared in five games for Dallas in his rookie season, recording 129 rushing yards on 34 attempts and a touchdown. The former Longhorn was waived by the Cowboys as part of the final roster cuts.
Blue ran a 4.38 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine following a senior collegiate season that saw the 5-foot-9 running back rush for 730 yards, 8 touchdowns, and average 5.4 yards per carry. In addition, Blue caught six touchdowns through the air in his final season at Texas.
