Jaydon Blue on the Waiver Radar in Banged-Up Eagles Backfield
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jaydon Blue has now become a deep-league waiver-wire pickup at the running back position with an opportunity for a role in Philly's banged-up backfield after they placed Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Pierce became the team's third RB placed on IR this season, joining Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot), and with Saquon Barkley also nursing hamstring and back injuries going into a Week 8 matchup against the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football, Blue has been added to the 53-man roster and could play a significant role when he makes his Eagles' debut this week. The 22-year-old former fifth-rounder by the Dallas Cowboys last year out of Texas will only be in play as a desperation flex option in the Eagles' depleted offense on Sunday night if Barkley does not play. Blue appeared in only five games for Dallas as a rookie in 2025 and handled just 38 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown while catching one pass for five yards. If Barkley misses another game, Blue will be battling with Elijah Mitchell for backfield touches in Philly

Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55: Land $55 bonus for Cowboys vs. Eagles on Monday Night Football
Sports fans looking to make trades on Monday Night Football outcomes can get a $55 bonus when they trade $25+ after signing up with the best Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55. NFL Week 7 concludes with an NFC East rivalry clash, with Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (2-4) visiting the Philadelphia Eagles (2-4), who will be without quarterback Jalen Hurts for the rest of the season. Get started at Kalshi with the best Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55: Visit the Kalshi promo code review page for the terms and conditions of the Kalshi promo offer. Before you make trades, be sure prediction markets are legal in your state, and you can learn how prediction markets work here . The Cowboys still have one of the best offenses in the NFL, while the Eagles were struggling on that side of the ball even before Hurts was knocked out with a blood clot in his calf. Philadelphia has lost four in a row after opening with consecutive victories, and the offense averaged 14.5 points over the four losses. Tanner McKee has stepped in at quarterback, and he threw for 215 yards in last week's 25-14 loss to Carolina. The Eagles rushed for just 35 yards behind an offensive line that has been gutted by injuries, retirements and trades. The Dallas defense allows the third-most yards in the league (382.5 per game). The Eagles are hoping running back Saquon Barkley can return after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley are both on IR, so Barkley's return would be a major lift for the Eagles. Dallas wins in 62% of the SportsLine model simulations, and shares on Dallas to win at Kalshi are priced at $0.66 each. While the Dallas defense has struggled for a few years now, the Eagles haven't been much better during this campaign. They rank 27th in the NFL, allowing 363.8 yards per game. Philadelphia will have to deal with a Dallas offense led by Prescott that averages more than 25 points per contest. Prescott is fourth in the NFL with 1,639 passing yards and has 10 TD passes but has thrown five interceptions. Two of those came last week in a 23-13 loss to the Packers . Receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens have combined for 81 receptions for 1,005 yards for the high-powered Dallas offense. The teams allow just over 49 points per game combined. The SportsLine model has the teams combining for fewer than 44.5 points in 54% of its simulations, and you can make that trade at Kalshi for $0.51. The teams to score 45 or more points is trading at $0.50. Use the Kalshi promo code SPORTSLINE55 to get a $55 bonus when you trade $25+: It's a top priority for Kalshi to keep its users safe.

Dameon Pierce Could Play No. 2 Role Vs. Cowboys, But Still Has Value
Dameon Pierce stepped into a larger role for the Eagles due to multiple injuries at running back, seeing significant snaps. Despite low efficiency, he scored a touchdown and added receptions. With Saquon Barkley potentially returning, Pierce is expected to move to a No. 2 role. However, given the Cowboys' weak run defense, Pierce may still hold some touchdown-dependent fantasy value

Report: Saquon Barkley is expected to practice Thursday
Good news has been in short supply around the Eagles of late, but they got some on the injury front Thursday morning. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that running back Saquon Barkley is expected to take part in practice later on Thursday. Barkley is believed to be in line to play against the Cowboys on Monday night after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. The Eagles have also lost Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley to injuries in recent weeks, which has left them shorthanded in the backfield as they try to snap a losing streak that has stretched to four games. Barkley has 36 carries for 182 yards and four catches for eight yards so far this season

Eagles Waive Running Back Carson Steele on Tuesday
The Philadelphia Eagles waived running back Carson Steele (shoulder) on Tuesday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Steele played in just his second game for the Eagles this year with Saquon Barkley (hamstring) missing a second straight game and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) on Injured Reserve, but he handled just one catch on two targets for four yards before suffering a shoulder injury and never returning in the Week 6 loss to the visiting Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old former undrafted free agent from UCLA did not have a single offensive touch in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 11. If Steele goes unclaimed on waivers, which is a good possibility because he is also injured, he will revert to Philly's IR. After the Eagles waived both Steele and Jaydon Blue, they added Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad. Mitchell could be brought up to the active roster for Monday night's game against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys if Barkley is forced to sit for a third straight game

Eagles Sign Elijah Mitchell to Practice Squad
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed running back Elijah Mitchell to their practice squad, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Signing Mitchell was just one of a series of moves the Eagles made in their backfield, as the team also waived running backs Jaydon Blue and Carson Steele (shoulder) from their active roster and Ian Wheeler from their practice squad. Eagles RB1 Saquon Barkley (hamstring) has missed each of the team's last two games, while top reserves Tank Bigsby (core) and Will Shipley (foot) are both on Injured Reserve. As a result, Dameon Pierce was Philly's lead back in Week 6. However, the Eagles' maneuvering on Tuesday could indicate that the team is confident in Barkley returning in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. If Barkley remains sidelined, Mitchell could join Pierce as a potential backfield option against Dallas

Darius Cooper Likely to Play Meaningful Snaps versus Jaguars in Week 5
Due to injuries in the wide receiver corps for the Philadelphia Eagles, Darius Cooper is expected to have an increased role against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5 in London. The Eagles will be without No. 1 wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and fellow wideout Hollywood Brown (ankle) against the Jaguars. Meanwhile, starting running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and backup running back Tank Bigsby (abdomen, IR) are both out, while wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) is expected to play but is dealing with a hamstring issue he suffered during the practice week. Cooper will likely work with Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon as Philadelphia's top receiver trio in Week 5. With Smith, Brown and tight end Dallas Goedert all out in a Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Cooper played 55 offensive snaps. He saw seven targets, and while he only recorded three receptions, Cooper made the most of them with two touchdowns and 33 yards. His seven targets, 33 receiving yards and two touchdowns all led the team, while his three receptions were tied for the most on a day when quarterback Jalen Hurts only threw for 93 yards. While Goedert is expected to return in Week 5, there should still be plenty of opportunities for Cooper. According to Pro Football Focus, Cooper ranks fourth in the NFL in fantasy points per touch (5.28). He has recorded just five receptions for 59 yards so far in 2026, but three of his five catches have been touchdowns. Cooper ranks as RotoBaller's No. 63 wide receiver for Week 5, and he is projected to score 5.6 fantasy points against the Jaguars. He is a touchdown-dependent boom-or-bust flex play at best this week, but it is probably best to leave Cooper out of lineups for Week 5
