Rashard Mendenhall to Return for Steelers and More AFC North News

It's looking like Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall will finally make his regular-season debut in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mendenhall, who tore his ACL in Week 17 of the 2011-2012 season, has had many prognoses about when he could play again, but with the Steelers coming off of a bye week and Mendenhall participating fully in practice for some time, it seems like the perfect opportunity for him to come back

Clearly, the Steelers have issues with their run game that go beyond Mendenhall not being on the field. However, Mendenhall's style of running will help mitigate the offensive line problems that have been the biggest culprit as to why Pittsburgh basically has not been able to run the ball this season.
