The Facts:
On Tuesday, the Steelers placed Mendenhall on injured reserve.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
An MRI on Monday revealed the extent of the damage, leaving Isaac Redman and rookie John Clay as the only healthy backs on the roster. Veteran Mewelde Moore is nursing a sprained left knee and Jonathan Dwyer is already out for the season with a left foot injury. ... After rushing for over 1,100 yards in 2009 and 2010, Mendenhall finished with 928 this season as the offense relied more heavily on quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Still, Mendenhall was a reliable goal-line option, scoring nine touchdowns behind a patchwork offensive line that spent the first half of the season getting shuffled around each week. As previously reported, Mendenhall will have surgery to repair the damage in one to two weeks
