Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall Expects Big Role On Sunday vs Eagles - Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall (knee) expects to get significant playing time in Sunday’s game against the Eagles. The Steelers have not yet announced a starter at the running back position. But with Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer combining to average 2.53 yards per carry so far, the writing is on the wall. If Mendenhall’s knee cooperates, he’s going to get plenty of work. Expect anywhere from 10-15 touches for Mendy in his 2012 debut. Original Story Here!
