Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports on Twitter that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall is listed as doubtful for their opening game of the season against the Denver Broncos.
Mendenhall missed the Steelers’ last competitive game, the wildcard match against the Broncos in January, because of an injury and it looks like he will miss out again, despite recently being activated from the PUP list.
The other Pittsburgh RBs on the depth chart are Isaac Redman, Jonathan Dwyer, Chris Rainey and Baron Batch. Redman has also had injury problems as of late, so Dwyer looks likely to be the standout among the group in the backfield.
