RB Mendenhall Ruled Out vs Redskins; Redman Practices

Rashard Mendenhall has been ruled out by the Steelers for Sunday’s game vs the Redskins at Heniz Field.

Running back Isaac Redman was a surprise participant in practice today because his injured ankle felt so good and he has a chance to play Sunday against the Washington Redskins at Heinz Field, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Redman did not play in Cincinnati after he sprained his ankle Oct. 11 against the Titans. He said the injury was sore after he went through individual drills on Wednesday.

But when he woke up today, he said his ankle felt so much better that it was ‘like night and day.” He decided to practice with the scout team and, when that went well, he said he got a couple series with the regular offense.
