Loss of Mendenhall huge blow to Steelers going into Denver

The Pittsburgh Steelers win over the Cleveland Browns was costly as the Steelers lost running back Rashard Mendenhall due to a knee injury that Steelers officials fear is a torn ACL that will end Mendenhall’s season

Head coach Mike Tomlin expressed serious concern that the injury could be season ending and has no expectations that Mendenhall will be able to play next weekend, the Steelers coach indicated in his post-game press conference. Mendenhall is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday

Mendenhall’s knee buckled on a running play in the first half when he was untouched and it’s a huge blow to the Steelers who had to rely on John Clay to close out the Browns due to two costly fumbles by Isaac Redman
