Rashard Mendenhall could return from his ACL far earlier than expected, even potentially starting in Week 1 for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Broncos.

“He looked incredible,” said Brett Keisel.

“I thought he looked great. He was running well, finishing runs. I’m excited for him,” said Lawrence Timmons.


I was under the assumption he probably wouldn't play this year.

I snagged him in fantasy in FA after the draft too, looking real nice right now as a backup to Arian Foster and Darren McFadden.

I just went pick him up in one of my leagues, given the chance that he returns to form (may be possible, may not be) I dropped Pierre Thomas for him.

I doubt he'll be back to form early in the year, but right as McFadden gets hurt by week 6 or 7 he should be good to be inserted into the starting lineup lol

Darren McFadden was the first guy on my do not draft list while I was at work.

It's not a money league, it's just a random ESPN one, so I was just taking fliers on guys left and right.

He was real low on ESPN rankings when I did a draft, but in yahoo he's ranked like 10th, and I was on autopick aside from a few guys I ranked.

I've got McCoy, McFadden, and Mendenhall...

Took Mendenhall late in the draft hoping for him to come back late in the season, now he should be back Week 2 at the latest.

I've got McCoy, Forte, Richardson, Wells, and Mendenhall in one league I'm in.

the fact that he blew his acl out and hes ready for the season in week 1 is pretty crazy. wish him well. i was assuming he was done for most of this season.
