The Steelers came back to win Monday night's game versus Baltimore and kept the Ravens from opening up a nice lead in the AFC North, but it came at a high cost. Already playing without starting running back Willie Parker (knee), the Steelers lost first-round pick Rashard Mendenhall to a season-ending shoulder injury and saw reserve running back Carey Scott leave the game with a foot injury.
In addition, starting right guard Kendell Simmons was lost for the season after suffering a foot injury. Head coah Mike Tomlin said the injuries the Steelers sustained -- linebacker Andre
Frazier and Keyaron Fox also left the contest -- did not put a damper
on the victory. He said the Steelers would look at options outside the
organization at running back.
It was originally expected that Parker would likely miss Week 5's game vs. Jacksonville too, but now you may see him try to make it back. Currently, Mewelde Moore is the team's only healhty running back.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting that Najeh Davenport is at the Steelers' South Side practice facility and it appears as if he will re-sign with the team that is perilously thin at running back.
