Steelers' McCarthy faces decision on offensive roles with Dowdle's return

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy must decide how to integrate running back Rico Dowdle upon his return from injury. The Steelers recently secured a 34-22 victory against the Indianapolis Colts, with Jaylen Warren excelling in Dowdle's absence. Warren has led the team in rushing and receiving during Dowdle's three-game injury outage, averaging 6.9 yards per carry. McCarthy prefers a two-back system, but Warren's performance complicates the decision, as he has become the primary back with 15 carries for 101 yards and six catches for 87 yards against the Colts. The Steelers will aim to keep both players involved once Dowdle is fit to play again.
