Isaac Redman led the Pittsburgh Steelers in rushing Sunday, but that's not saying much, as he gained just 27 yards on nine carries against the Oakland Raiders. Jonathan Dwyer had three carries for minus-1 yard, and did not touch the ball again after losing a first-quarter fumble.

With the Steelers on a bye in Week 4, tentatively pencil in Mendenhall to return in Week 5.
