Pittsburgh running back Rico Dowdle is officially day-to-day after a toe injury scare in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots, and that’s huge relief for the Steelers faithful. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport dropped the report that further testing “checked out relatively OK,” calming fears of a long absence.
Dowdle’s Rollercoaster Sunday and What’s Next
What a wild game it was for Dowdle. He went down in the first half with that toe injury, got tagged questionable to return, and then actually made it back onto the field. But the comeback was short-lived, as he was ultimately ruled out for the rest of the game. Before he was sidelined for good, Dowdle managed seven carries for 22 yards and snagged two catches for another 22 yards. With Jaylen Warren and practice squad elevation Travis Homer stepping up to fill the void on Sunday, Pittsburgh will be watching Dowdle closely as they prep for their Week 3 clash against the Bengals.
