Dowdle (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

For a sixth week in a row, Dowdle is operating with practice restrictions due to a lingering ankle issue. He's still been able to suit up for the past five game days, turning 38 touches into 132 yards from scrimmage and two TDs while working as Tony Pollard's primary backup. Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Dowdle enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's visit to Miami.

Dowdle (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As he has been for the Cowboys' previous five games, Dowdle again is tending to an ankle injury. It hasn't stopped him from playing a regular, albeit small, role in the offense, as evidenced by 31 carries and seven catches (on eight targets) for 132 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns during that stretch. Even if he has practice restrictions through Friday, there's a decent chance Dowdle will enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's contest at Miami.

Dowdle carried the ball three times for four yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

The Cowboys' offense sputtered once again on the road, and Dowdle's 12 scrimmage yards was his lowest output since he managed only eight yards in Philadelphia back in Week 9. The No. 2 running back has only seen double-digit touches in a game three times all season, and Dowdle will be little more than a desperation dart throw in Week 16 against the Dolphins.

Dowdle (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dowdle has been playing through the ankle issue for weeks, and Week 15 will be no different. He matched his season high with 12 carries last week against the Eagles, turning them into 46 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season. Dowdle will continue to mix in behind Tony Pollard.

EDGE Analysis

Dowdle also was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimate, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to all activity this week before the Cowboys potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Buffalo. He's been able to play through his ankle injury in each of Dallas' previous four contests, combining for 33 touches for 120 yards from scrimmage and two TDs during that span while working behind starting running back Tony Pollard.

Dowdle (ankle) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dowdle has had practice restrictions before each of the Cowboys' previous four games, but he ultimately has been able to suit up on all four occasions en route to 28 carries for 95 yards and one touchdown and five catches (on five targets) for 25 yards and another TD while working behind starting RB Tony Pollard. Assuming he gets through Week 15 unscathed, Dowdle should play a similar role Sunday at Buffalo.

Dowdle carried the ball 12 times for 46 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

The running back punched in a one-yard TD in the second quarter, although it took a review to confirm the ball had gotten across the goal line in the scrum. Dowdle saw nearly as many carries as Tony Pollard's 16, but the Cowboys' starter dominated work out of the backfield in the passing game. Dowdle has emerged as a solid backup for Dallas this season, scoring four total touchdowns (two rushing, two receiving) with 389 yards from scrimmage across 13 games, and Sunday's game was the third time in the last five contests he'd seen double-digit touch volume. Dowdle will carry some deeper-league fantasy appeal into a Week 15 meeting with the Bills.

Dowdle (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dowdle appeared on Dallas injury reports for each of the past three weeks due to an ankle issue, but he proceeded to play in every contest. Though the Cowboys managed his practice workload once again in Week 14, Dowdle will be ready to handle his usual duties as the team's No. 2 running back behind Tony Pollard this Sunday. Through his 12 appearances on the season, Dowdle has found the end zone three times while averaging 5.3 carries and 0.9 catches for 28.1 scrimmage yards per game.

EDGE Analysis

Dowdle maintained his activity level from one day prior as he continues to tend to an ankle injury, giving him just one more day to get back to full before the Cowboys potentially make a call on his status ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Eagles. If he's able to suit up, as he's done the previous three games with the health concern, he should be good for his typical snap share (18-26 percent) and touches (4-10) from the aforementioned span behind starting running back Tony Pollard.

Dowdle (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

For a fourth consecutive week, Dowdle is tending to an ankle issue, but he at least is beginning Week 14 prep with a cap on his practice reps. Over the last three games, he's mustered just 3.1 yards on his 16 carries and hauled in all four targets for 19 yards and a touchdown. A similar role will be in store for Dowdle as long as the Cowboys' lead runner Tony Pollard is healthy and assuming the former is able to suit up Sunday night against the Eagles.
