Rico Dowdle Ruled Out For Week 3 Against Bengals Due To Persistent Toe Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after missing his third consecutive practice due to a toe injury suffered in Week 2. Dowdle missed the fourth quarter last week and has not practiced since. With Dowdle sidelined, teammate Jaylen Warren is expected to dominate backfield work for the Steelers, backed up by Travis Homer and practice squad option Lew Nichols.
