Cowboys rookie running back Jaydon Blue escaped serious injury after having his foot stepped on during Thursday’s practice.
After practice, Blue told Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram he injured his ankle. However, Harris reports that an MRI revealed only a bone bruise in Blue’s heel.
Blue is wearing a walking boot, but he is not expected to miss much time.
It seems unlikely he will play in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Rams.
Blue, a fifth-round pick, is a favorite to land a feature role on the offense after he has debunked questions about his work habits during training camp.
Offensive lineman Dakoda Shepley was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN reports. That will keep Shepley out of this week’s game and for a few weeks.
