Isaac Redman in, Jonathan Dwyer out for Steelers
Posted by Josh Alper on November 2, 2012, 2:55 PM EDT
The face of the Steelers backfield is changing again.
It looks like Isaac Redman will be the feature back for the Steelers in their abbreviated trip to New Jersey this weekend after running back Jonathan Dwyer missed practice Friday with a quad injury. Dwyer is listed as doubtful, although Mike Bires of the Beaver County Times reports that the decision has already been made to keep Dwyer out of the lineup.
It’s bad timing for Dwyer, who had run for more than 100 yards in each of the last two games with Redman and Rashard Mendenhall out of the lineup. Mendenhall is also doubtful and also not expected to play, which means Redman will be the main driver of any ground attack the Steelers can muster on Sunday afternoon. That could wind up meaning more dinking and dunking for Ben Roethlisberger if Redman isn’t able to move the chains as well as Dwyer.
