Dowdle Joins Steelers, Will Compete with Warren for Backfield

Rico Dowdle signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the 2026 season, bringing a second straight 1,000‑yard campaign to a backfield split with Jaylen Warren.

Dowdle, who posted 1,000 yards in 2025 with the Panthers, will enter the Steelers’ backfield where he must compete with incumbent Jaylen Warren. He said his focus will be to "put his best foot forward" and let the coaches decide how to divide playing time. raccoongame.org
