The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Tuesday that running back Rashard Mendenhall, who was listed as inactive in the team's past two games, will be suspended for this Sunday's match against the Dallas Cowboys for "conduct detrimental to the team."

According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the conduct in question was Mendenhall's no-show to last Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers once he found out he would not play. It's likely that Mendenhall, who is an unrestricted free agent once the season ends, has played his final snap in a Steelers uniform.
