Rico Dowdle Not Practicing Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (hip) and tight end Peyton Hendershot (ankle) are working with the rehab group on Wednesday and will not practice, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Dowdle will miss the first practice of the week after suffering a hip contusion in the Week 4 blowout win over the New England Patriots. As of right now, the 25-year-old should be considered questionable to play this Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers. If he is unable to play or limited at all, rookie Deuce Vaughn would have a bigger role in Dallas' backfield in a very tough matchup behind starter Tony Pollard. Through four games this year, Dowdle has 20 carries for 80 yards while catching all five of his targets for 50 yards and the first touchdown of his career.
