Dowdle Practices Fully; Mayfield Remains Out

Dowdle's full practice boosts Pittsburgh's backfield depth ahead of Sunday while other practice upgrades leave final game‑day decisions unsettled.

Overview

  • The teams posted updated Week 6 practice reports Thursday showing Steelers running back Rico Dowdle as a full participant after a double toe dislocation.
  • Thursday's upgrade suggests Dowdle is trending toward being active, which would add veteran depth behind rising lead back Jaylen Warren.
  • Steelers All‑Pro Jalen Ramsey moved from a Wednesday non‑participant to a limited participant on Thursday with a wrist fracture he has been playing through.
  • Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was listed as a non‑participant on both reports with a right‑thumb injury that has kept him out the past two games.
  • Several other players on both rosters remained limited or did not practice, so final availability and inactive lists will depend on Friday's update and game‑day designations.
