Blue got "his first good burn" with the first-team offense at Wednesday's practice, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Blue displayed elite speed and pass-catching ability with the second unit to earn a shot with Dak Prescott and the first-team offense Wednesday, and the rookie didn't disappoint. Offensive coordinator Klayton Adams raved about Blue after Wednesday's session, saying, "When the ball is in his hands, exciting things happen. He is, in my opinion, blossoming." The 2025 fifth-round pick is competing with veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders for snaps in Dallas' backfield, and it sounds like Blue might be emerging as the frontrunner. The Dallas running back room is wide open headed into the preseason, and Blue is dripping with upside as a talented runner in what should be a high-scoring offense. He checks a lot of the boxes fantasy players look for in a late-round dart throw.
