Eagles down 1 RB on active roster after waiving Blue originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Eagles on Tuesday waived running back Jaydon Blue.

As of right now, Saquon Barkley is the only running back on the Eagles’ 53-man roster. But they don’t play a game until Week 11 after their bye week.

Perhaps that means one of the Eagles’ running backs who has been on IR — Will Shipley or Tank Bigsby — could be nearing a return. The Eagles also still have Elijah Mitchell on the practice squad and could sign Blue back to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Blue, 22, has been on the Eagles’ 53-man roster and practice squad at different points since coming to Philadelphia from Dallas.

Blue played in each of the last two weeks against the Commanders and Giants but played just 8 offensive snaps and 13 special teams snaps. He has been one of the Eagles’ kick returners.

Barkley was bottled up in Week 9 against the Giants but was able to play more snaps than the previous couple weeks.
