In line to play Sunday

Dowdle (toe), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, is slated to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Dowdle has been sidelined exiting a loss to the Patriots in Week 2, when he dislocated the same toe on his right foot twice. After logging back-to-back full practices to cap Week 6 prep, he's expected to put an end to a three-game absence and rejoin Jaylen Warren out of the Steelers backfield. Considering how well Warren has performed as the lead back over the past three weeks, head coach Mike McCarthy has already indicated Dowdle will slide back into a complementary role instead of splitting touches with Warren like he had prior to getting hurt.
