Changes To Bucs-Steelers Injury Report
October 15th, 2026
It looks like the Steelers will be getting back their big-money, free agent running back for Sunday.
Rico Dowdle was full-go for Pittsburgh in practice today, per Thursday’s official Bucs-Steelers injury report.
Dowdle (1000+ yards for Carolina last year and the same for Dallas in 2024) hasn’t played since Week 2. He’s been out with a toe issue.
The Steelers’ run game, however, has thrived with Jaylen Warren. He’s got 410 yards through five games and is averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Jamel Dean (ankle) remains limited for the Steelers. He did not play last week.
For the good guys on the Tampa Bay roster, Sean Tucker was limited after missing yesterday’s practice with a quad issue. Baker Mayfield did not practice after testing his thumb after practice on Wednesday. Backup cornerback Ayden Garnes (ankles) was upgraded to “limited” after sitting out Wednesday.

Feel like Warren can do more damage to bucs catching passes out of backfield anyways

Wait! Dean is still injured? Amazing. What a huge loss when he left Tampa.

Hope that Freiermuth and Warren catch a cold. Both could go off by attacking Pizza-Boy Anzalone.

Tampa fans might want to skip this game. Steelers offense is on a roll and run defense is stout. Rookie QBs have never had success vs Steelers, look for a few 2nd half turn overs to turn this into a route

Steelers have not played well on road this year. If half the Stadium is Steeler fans that may be a big benefit. Buc Defense is strong and should be able to take away the Steeler Run and Pass Rush Harass Rodgers. I think Bucs can win this one

Never forget Bucs fan.
We passed on TJ Watt!
We had a chance to draft a Watt and we passed!
