Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall was a full participant in practice, via Ken Laird.

Fantasy Analysis: This is a great sign for Mendenhall but it's still doubtful that he's active this weekend against the Raiders. Pittsburgh is not going to rush him into action, especially when they can probably defeat Oakland with Isaac Redman and their dynamic passing offense. Mendenhall has shown improvement and could be starting sooner rather than later, but in the meantime, fantasy owners need to hang tight.
