The Facts:
Mendenhall practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, marking the first time the Steelers' first-round pick has taken part in drills since straining his hamstring during minicamp at the beginning of May. "I feel pretty good," the rookie running back said after the practice.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Steelers will monitor Mendenhall closely throughout organized team activities, which run through next month, and will likely restrict how much he does. The last thing they want is for the injury to turn into a lingering one and something that hampers Mendenhall during training camp, which starts in late July. Mendenhall, the 23rd overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft, said the practices will be beneficial even if he is not allowed to participate in all of the drills. They will give him time to learn the offense in advance of training camp.
