Dowdle (toe) wasn't present for Monday's walkthrough practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Dowdle was unable to practice in any fashion last week before being ruled out ahead of Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals. The Steelers will face a quick turnaround for Week 4, when they'll travel to Cleveland for a Thursday night matchup with the Browns. Dowdle's lack of involvement in the team stretch and walkthrough Monday doesn't bode well for his chances of being ready to play three days later.
