Mendenhall held to 20 yards in Week 17
Rashard Mendenhall - RB - Pittsburgh Steelers
Jan. 4, 2013 - 2:20 PM ET
Rashard Mendenhall carried the ball just six times for 19 yards and added two receptions for one yards versus the Browns in Week 17.
Mendenhall was splitting carries early in the game, but gave way to Jonathan Dwyer as the clock-killer in the second half. Had the Steelers not banished Mendenhall after his two-fumble game at Cleveland in Week 12, it's fair to wonder if they would be playing next week. The impending free agent finishes an injury-ravaged season with a paltry 182 rushing yards on 51 attempts (3.57 YPC). He's an extreme long shot to return to Pittsburgh in 2013.
