Michael Moore· Sep 25, 2026
In a Week 3 injury roundup, Moore forecast several availability calls: DJ Moore, Caleb Douglas, Rico Dowdle, Nico Collins, Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua are expected to miss Week 3, while Jalen Coker and Brock Bowers should play, with Jaylen Warren taking on a near-workhorse role in Pittsburgh.
“Even if he is out of it by the end of the week, it looks like Rico Dowdle will sit out Week 3 to avoid re-injury.”
