Steelers Injury Report: Isaac Redman, Jonathan Dwyer, Rashard Mendenhall

The Pittsburgh Steelers are already at a disadvantage today because of their travel schedule.  The aftermath of Hurricane (superstore) Sandy, the Steelers could not get a hotel in the New York area, nor did they want to take away room from those who truly need them.  So, they are traveling on game day, playing the game, and leaving.  All they can hope for is some of their nagging injuries will not hinder them and allow them to play up to their capabilities.  Here's your injury report for the Steelers: Jeremy Elliot of the Patriot News says the Steelers need their running game to help balance out the offense if they are going to have a chance against the New York Giants.  This means, their injured running backs will still have to go out and play.  This includes Isaac Redman who is battling a sore ankle.  Jonathan Dwyer has two-straight 100-yard rushing games.  He probably won't get a shot for a third.  Matt Ehalt of ESPN New York says Dwyer is doubtful with a right quad strain.   Rashard Mendenhall has been battling an achilles injury, and it looks like he won't be able to play today against the Giants.  Jim McBride of the Boston Globe has Mendenhall listed as one of the game's key injuries and doubtful.   The Steelers come into New York with a 4-3 record, one game behind the Baltimore Ravens.  The Giants, on the other hand, are sitting at 6-2 and in first place in the NFC East.  Follow @TheNFLInjuryRpt !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="http://www.thenflinjuryreport.com//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-34100676-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
