Mendenhall, Redman out for Week 7 at Cincy

[Franchise 5 1]

Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) and Isaac Redman (ankle) will not play at Cincinnati in Week 7 after missing a third consecutive practice on Friday.

Mendenhall was given the better chance of playing, but he's going to rest up for Week 8 versus the Redskins instead. Jonathan Dwyer is tentatively expected to draw the start and handle the bulk of the early-down workload, giving way to Baron Batch and Chris Rainey on passing downs. Later this afternoon, Chris Wesseling and Mike Clay will likely bump Dwyer into the top-35 Week 7 running back options. We still expect the Steelers to lean heavily on Ben Roethlisberger.

Jonathan Dwyer, Chris Rainey, Baron Batch, the backfield is endless in Pittsburgh.
