Mendenhall—who moulding his ACL terminal January—will training with pads this hebdomad for the prototypal instance since his surgery, per Jim Wexell of SteelCityInsider.net (via Scout.com). 

The Steelers module trusty be pleased to hit him backwards whenever he is healthy to return. Jonathan Dwyer (21 rushes for 71 yards, threesome receptions for 23 yards) and patriarch Redman (23 rushes for 45 yards and a touchdown, threesome receptions for 21 yards) hit scarce prefabricated anyone block most Mendenhall in his absence.

And patch the Steelers hit embellish a such more pass-heavy aggroup in the time some years, it's mismatched to wager them movement at 30th in the NFL in running after digit games. 

Fantasy owners module be bright to wager the (potential) convey of Mendenhall as well. From 2009 to 2011, he hurried for 3,309 yards, caught 66 passes for added 582 yards and scored 30 amount touchdowns.

A convey against the Raiders would be ideal. Last weekend, metropolis allowed Reggie Dubya to festinate for 172 yards against them. I'm trusty the Steelers would same null more than to be healthy to separate the ball at will, endeavor solidified accumulation and curb the game.

Even if Mendenall plays this week, his practice relic in question. It's doable the Steelers would (wisely) poverty to bounds his touches upon his return.

As always, be trusty to ready it here as more updates embellish available.
