The challenges never cease for the beleaguered Pittsburgh Steelers running game. Running backs Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman did not practice on Friday and will not play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mendenhall's Achilles tightened up on him during Pittsburgh's 26-23 loss last week. The team had hoped the soreness would dissipate enough to allow Mendenhall to go in Week 7. A bad ankle has kept Redman out of practice all week. The short-handed Steelers will lean heavily on Jonathan Dwyer, who will start, and figures to get the most touches out of the backfield.
Analysis: The Bengals have allowed eight rushing touchdowns this season and Dwyer has the make-up of a goal line running back. He could be a decent plug and play option this weekend if you're in a bind at running back, but expect Baron Batch to steal some of his touches.
Run, Dont walk.
What even makes it sweeter is that it's the Sunday night game.
Thank me later.
