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 as the Cowboys prepare for their upcoming matchup.
Downs, a key contributor in the Cowboys' secondary, had been listed as a non-participant earlier in the week. The upgrade to limited status suggests he is trending toward availability for Sunday's game, though his final status will likely be determined after Friday's practice session.
The Cowboys' defensive backfield has dealt with several injuries this season, making Downs' potential return a significant boost for the unit. Head coach Mike McCarthy is expected to provide further clarity on Downs' game-day status during his Friday press conference.
