| News for Dowdle, Rico |

Rico Dowdle rushed nine times for 48 yards in the Steelers’ Week 7 win over the Saints, adding six catches for 45 yards. 2026-10-25 13:00:02 Dowdle was the clear backup to Jaylen Warren, but he was able to have a solid day thanks in large part to checkdowns from Aaron Rodgers. The 28-year-old had a long rush of 16 yards, and the toe injury that sidelined him earlier in the campaign doesn’t appear to be bothering him. Dowdle is a FLEX option for Week 8 against the Browns, at best. |

Rico Dowdle (knee) is active for Week 7 against the Saints. 2026-10-25 09:00:02 The knee issue was new for Dowdle and limited him to three partial practices this week. He was listed as questionable for Week 7 on Friday. Dowdle will once again form the 1B portion of Pittsburgh’s backfield committee. He’s a low-end RB3 versus the Saints. |

Rico Dowdle (knee) is questionable for Week 7 against the Saints. 2026-10-23 09:00:02 Dowdle was listed as limited throughout the week and will officially be questionable entering this week’s game with the Saints. This is a new injury he is dealing with but it doesn’t sound like he’s at serious risk of missing the game at this time. Dowdle played on just 17 percent of snaps in his return to action last week and saw 11 opportunities. He’ll profile as a low-end RB3 this week if active. |

Rico Dowdle (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice. 2026-10-22 16:00:02 It’s a new injury that popped up on Wednesday, but with two limited sessions we’re not overly concerned about Dowdle missing Sunday morning’s Civil Unrest Bowl in Paris. He’ll be in the RB3/FLEX discussion. |

Rico Dowdle (toe) was limited in Wednesday’s practice. 2026-10-21 18:00:02 The Steelers will likely limit Dowdle’s reps for a few weeks as he manages the toe injury that cost him three games. He should be good to go for Sunday’s game by Friday. Dowdle saw 10 touches in his first game back and looked relatively explosive, running for 40 yards on seven attempts. He is in the RB3 mix for Week 7 versus the Saints. |
