vmax Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 LATROBE, Pa. -- Running back used to be one of the Steelers' deepest positions. Now, it's become one of their chief concerns. The latest injury question mark at running back is Isaac Redman, who said he will get an MRI on Thursday morning. He has been limited by a groin injury that has become worse since the start of training camp. "It hurts a little," Redman said. "It's tough to run right now." Redman's situation has left the Steelers extremely short-handed at running back, where three players have gone down with injuries. Rashard Mendenhall, the Steelers' starter, is expected to start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list after ACL surgery in January. Reserve back John Clay suffered a season-ending thigh injury. And Jonathan Dwyer, Redman's backup, is dealing with a sprained shoulder. The only healthy running backs are rookie Chris Rainey and Baron Batch.http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/52670/steelers-redman-scheduled-for-mri-on-thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think in time Rainey will be quite good. He doesn't make sense to the power running game they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
