Was waiting until this point to report this...  Big Ben off the hook... From "The REAL Feed":
 
Sources: Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged
ESPN: NFL (09.04.2010 17:54)
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged after an investigation into accusations of sexual assault by a 20-year-old woman in Georgia, sources told ESPN.

Atop the real feed....Big Ben out 4-6 weeks.  
 
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5121614&campaign=rss& ;source=NFLHeadlines
 
I think the % of him getting traded is going up as we speak.  
 
It makes the Wrs value go down, and I don't think it much change for Mendenhall...maybe a slight increase, not much worth noting IMO.

Maybe I spoke a little too early, but here is support for my belief of Mendenhall's stats this year:

Like I said I see nothing different in what I expect from him this year.

Man, this guy's season is over well before it was even to begin,... which is a shame since, with the sudden departure of Holmes this offseason and an ever-youthful, but matter-of-fact ever-aging Ward as the team's leading receiver, he had his chance to emerge...  From "The REAL Feed":
 
Steelers WR Sweed placed on IR

NFL.com (15.08.2012 12:53)
The Steelers are thin in the backfield with Rashard Mendenhall hurt. An injury to Isaac Redman might leave them even thinner. Gregg Rosenthal examines what's next.
 
Isn't this where Cedric Benson should have ended up?

In a surprising move, the Steelers take Mendenhall off the PUP list.   He is apparently more ready to play than anyone anticipated:
