Jonathan Dwyer - RB - Pittsburgh Steelers
Dec. 5, 2012 - 2:20 AM ET
Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that Jonathan Dwyer will stick as his starting running back for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Last week, Dwyer's promotion left ex-starter Rashard Mendenhall as a healthy scratch. Dwyer ended up rushing 16 times for just 49 yards with a touchdown while Isaac Redman mixed in for 43 yards on nine carries. Expect a similar workload against the Chargers this week. "Rashard will get an opportunity to redeem himself at some point ... not now," said Tomlin.
