The Dallas Cowboys are back on the practice field after finishing up the preseason portion of their season this past Friday.

Now, the focus shifts to opening night of the NFL season, when the team will travel to Philadelphia to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in hopes of spoiling the Super Bowl banner celebration.

In order to compete with the reigning champions of the league, the Cowboys would like to be as healthy as they possibly can when it comes to the roster.

Blue missed some time during training camp with an ankle bruise, but finally got the chance to make his preseason debut last Friday.

It didn't take long for Blue to win over fans. A physical goal line rushing touchdown was the highlight of his day. However, the rookie running back had his ankle rolled during a play.
