Cowboys' Jaydon Blue Debuts After Cleat Blisters

Rookie Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue is set to make his NFL debut Sunday at MetLife Stadium against the New York Jets after being inactive the first four games while recovering from heel and ankle issues. He drew headlines this week for wearing flashy Louis Vuitton x Nike cleats in practice that gave him painful blisters and forced him to change shoes mid-session, a move coach Brian Schottenheimer called "a little questionable decision." Schottenheimer said Blue has recently improved on consistency and could see offensive snaps and return duties. Blue's potential role is increased because KaVontae Turpin is out and Miles Sanders' status is uncertain for Sunday. The cleat incident prompted media and fan commentary but has not derailed Blue's chance to earn the coaching staff's trust.
