THE APEX TIMES
Philadelphia has released the running back, ending a brief run that included two promotions to the active roster and kickoff-return duty earlier this fall.
The Philadelphia Eagles have waived running back Jaydon Blue, the team announced Tuesday. Blue, who began the season on the practice squad, had been moved to the 53-man roster twice during the year before the waiver.
According to the Eagles, Blue first joined the active roster ahead of Week 6 against the Panthers, then was released from the active roster the following week and returned to the practice squad. The team later said Blue rejoined the 53-man roster ahead of the Week 8 game against the Commanders after Dameon Pierce was placed on injured reserve following Week 7’s matchup against the Cowboys.
The Eagles also reported that Blue served as the primary kickoff returner during that period, including in games against the Commanders and the Giants.
Blue entered the NFL after being selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Texas. The team noted he appeared in five games as a rookie for Dallas, totaling 129 rushing yards on 34 carries and one touchdown, before being waived by the Cowboys during final roster cuts.
