Dallas Cowboys safety Caleb Downs has been upgraded to limited participation in practice, according to the team's latest injury report released Thursday. The development signals progress in Downs' recovery, though his availability for the upcoming game remains uncertain.
The Cowboys' defensive backfield has been managing several injuries this season, and Downs' return to the practice field, even in a limited capacity, provides a potential boost for the secondary. The team did not disclose the specific nature of the injury that had previously sidelined the safety.
Head coach Mike McCarthy is expected to address Downs' status further during his next media availability. The Cowboys continue their preparation for their next opponent as they navigate a challenging stretch of the 2026 NFL season.
