Mike Tomlin has said that he does not plan to bring Rashard Mendenhall back into the Pittsburgh Steelers' lineup this weekend.

The Steelers coach favoured Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer ahead of the 25-year-old against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Tomlin told the franchise's website: "We don't intend on doing anything differently in terms of Jonathan being the guy and of course, [Redman] supplementing him because Red is capable of distinguishing himself in situational football, short yardage.

"Rashard will get an opportunity to redeem himself, I'm sure, at some point along this journey. That's the nature of this thing. There's ebb and flow and opportunities are presented."

Mendenhall was a first-round draft pick in 2008.

The Steelers face the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
