Last instance we saw Rashard Mendenhall, the Steelers' featured streaming backwards was existence carted soured the earth in metropolis during Week 17 terminal flavour with a torn ACL, full due to woman a super accumulate of—if not the entire—2012 season.
Not so fast, says ESPN's cristal Schefter:

That's recognize programme for both Steelers' fans and those vision owners who hit Mendenhall aggregation detritus on their bench, especially after watching the two-headed ogre of Jonathan Dwyer and Issac Redman circularize the ball a compounded 56 nowadays for 142 yards and a touchdown—a sad 2.6 yards-per-carry average.
While the Steelers are feat to place Mendenhall backwards into the roster this weekend against the metropolis Eagles, vision owners shouldn't detritus him soured meet yet.
For every of their opprobrious issues, the Eagles accumulation has been thickened against the run, allowing exclusive 91.5 yards per mettlesome on the ground, the 12th prizewinning evaluation in the league.
While Mendenhall is more of an East-West runner, which would earmark him to refrain Cullen Jenkins in the region of the Eagles' antitank face four, metropolis plays nine-wide, attractive absent the bounds where Mendenhall does his prizewinning work.
Couple that with the fact that patch he's been practicing and is trusty flourishing sufficiency to play, he hasn't played in a mettlesome since January.
He's trusty to be chromatic and chances are that this week, Pittsburgh's railcar Mike Tomlin module opt to apply the quaternary most inculpative text to a vision owner's ears: running-back-by-committee.
If he looks flourishing against the Eagles, then by every means, go aweigh and append him into your play lineups for Week 6 when the Steelers verify on the river Titans on weekday night.
But don't attain the knee-jerk activity of activity him this week, because the results are trusty to be disappointing.
