The Dallas Cowboys’ preseason outlook shifted from normal camp chatter to concrete injury news, as running back Jaydon Blue is sidelined with a bone bruise on his foot/ankle, ruling him out of the first preseason game versus the Rams. Dallas labeled the issue non-significant, but timing remains uncertain for Blue’s return to practice. Defensive end Sam Williams, involved in a separate on-field incident with Blue, asked for accountability, insisting the clash wasn’t a face mask but a momentary collision. Coach Brian Schottenheimer’s camp emphasis on playing on the edge continues, though there’s growing concern about players staying within the lines as bodies pile up. For Dallas, Blue’s absence could accelerate backfield depth testing in the near term, while Williams faces scrutiny to maintain rhythm without compromising teammates. The Rams game remains a barometer for both the backfield and defensive depth as Dallas pieces together a plan without two early contributors.
