When the Dallas Cowboys selected Texas Longhorns running back Jaydon Blue in the fifth round, one thing many pointed to was his blistering pace and what that could do for Brian Schottenheimer's offense.

Dallas Cowboys rookie Jaydon Blue, slotted as the No. 3 running back for the team's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams, exited Thursday's practice with a lower body injury.

The Texas rookie was expected to be a home run threat. But after some early questions about toughness, he's showing power between the tackles, too.
