The Eagles announced the move to place quarterback Jalen Hurts to injured reserve on Saturday afternoon and they also made a move to fill the open space on their 53-man roster.
Running back Jaydon Blue has been signed off of the practice squad. Blue signed with the Eagles after being cut by the Cowboys at the end of the summer.
Blue was a fifth-round pick in Dallas in 2025. He had 38 carries for 129 yards and a touchdown in five appearances during his rookie season.
With Saquon Barkley ruled out and two other backs on injured reserve, Blue will join Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as the available running backs against the Panthers on Sunday.
The Eagles also announced that they have elevated linebacker Keyshawn James-Newby and safety Cole Wisniewski from the practice squad for Sunday’s game.
