Rico Dowdle Circles Panthers Game After Joining Steelers

Newly signed Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle has officially circled his upcoming game against his former team, the Carolina Panthers, on his schedule. Dowdle, who spent last season in Carolina, previously demonstrated high-level performance against former teams, notably recording a career-high 239 scrimmage yards against the Cowboys last year. He aims to bring that same intensity to the Steelers' backfield as he prepares for the 2026 season.
