Is this a possible symptom of a bad downstream O2 sensor?

if yer talking about the o2s after the cat, then the answer is no. post cat o2 has nothing to do with afr. its just there to monitor the cats efficiency if its doing its job or not.
if your ho2s signal is always at low voltage and not switching properly and averaging 4.5v, pcm will remain in open loop even when the cars warmed up. when in open loop, you run rich. when the ho2s signal is always lean, pcm command would be opposite(you run rich). a good o2s will be switching .1-.9v(lean, rich, lean, rich). if its not switching, it will throw a code.
test the o2s and find out whats causing excess 02 emissions.
