Rico Dowdle

Rico Dowdle (illness) is practicing in full for Week 9 against the Falcons.

Dowdle was a late scratch on Sunday after being added to the injury report with an illness just hours before kickoff. He told reporters today that he had a fever of 102.4 degrees. Dowdle said he wanted to play through the illness but the risk factors associated with such a high fever forced the team to sit him. He is good to go for Week 9 against the Falcons. With Dalvin Cook potentially in the mix, Dowdle is stuck at the back of the RB3 ranks this week.
