As PFT's Josh Alper notes, there wasn’t much sign that Mendenhall was close to being ready to play in recent days, but he has obviously progressed enough to make the Steelers see what he can do on the field. Mendenhall’s activation is a bigger surprise because every voice from Steelers camp, including GM Kevin Colbert’s, has indicated that he would start the season on the PUP list.
