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 listed Downs as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, an improvement from his previous status. The second-year defensive back has been managing an injury that kept him sidelined or restricted in recent weeks.
Dallas will continue to monitor Downs' progress through Friday's session before making a final determination on his game status for Sunday's matchup. The team's secondary depth will be tested if Downs cannot suit up, with the coaching staff preparing contingency plans at the safety position.
