The challenges never cease for the beleaguered Pittsburgh Steelers running game.
The
Running backs Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman didn't practice 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.
