Steelers running back Rico Dowdle was a full practice participant yesterday for the first time since suffering a dislocated toe in the Week Two loss to New England. He appears ready to return to action on Sunday at Tampa Bay.
In the beat-up secondary, cornerback Jamel Dean was limited but said he was optimistic he can play Sunday against his former team. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey also was limited but will most likely play. Safety DeShon Elliott was limited and appears to be targeting his return for next Sunday’s game in Paris against the Saints. He’s not played yet this season as he recovers from a knee injury.
Defensive lineman Keeanu Benton was a limited participant wearing an ankle sleeve.
Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield is still out with a thumb injury and probably won’t play on Sunday.

The Broncos beat the Seahawks in Thursday Night Football, 17-14 in overtime.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will miss at least one game because of a blood clot in his calf. The team says they found it last week but determined Hurts could play with it, but a follow-up test this week found the clot had moved, so they shut him down.
