Rashard Mendenhall, Jonathan Dwyer headline late game NFL inactive lists

After yet another week where a foot injury had him on a limited practice schedule and listed as "questionable" on the injury report, New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw is active and will start against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. While Bradshaw will play, the injury has clearly impacted his production. Bradshaw ran for 316 yards and two touchdowns in Weeks 5 and 6, but has just 121 yards and one score on 34 carries in the two games since sustaining the injury.

In other running back news from the Steelers-Giants game, Jonathan Dwyer (quadriceps) and Rashard Mendenhall (Achilles) are both inactive after being listed as "doubtful" on Friday's injury report. Isaac Redman, Baron Batch and Chris Rainey will handle the rushing load for the Steelers on Sunday.
