The Steelers will be without running back Rico Dowdle and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. for Thursday night’s Week 4 matchup with the Browns, while Cleveland has ruled out three offensive players.
- Steelers — Out: RB Rico Dowdle (toe); CB Joey Porter Jr. (non-injury/conditioning designation, back)
- Steelers — Questionable: CB Brandin Echols (concussion); CB Jalen Ramsey (wrist)
- Browns — Out: WR Tylan Wallace (knee); G Teven Jenkins (back); C Elgton Jenkins (concussion)
Pittsburgh’s secondary could be shorthanded, with Porter unavailable and both Echols and Ramsey carrying game-status designations. Dowdle’s absence also removes a running back option from the Steelers’ offense.
For Cleveland, the offensive line will be missing both Teven Jenkins and Elgton Jenkins. Wallace has also been ruled out with a knee injury.
Week 4 schedule ahead
Week 4 begins Thursday, Oct. 1, when the Steelers face the Browns. The remaining Week 4 games are scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 4, followed by the Monday night game on Oct. 5.
