Steelers to bring back Davenport on roster

nugget maxwell · 10-01-2008, 10:39 PM

AP-- Down to one healthy running back, the Steelers brought back the back up from last season by re-signing Najeh Davenport on Wednesday.
The Steelers, third in the NFL in rushing last season, lost Pro Bowl running back Willie Parker to a sprained knee last week and first-round draft pick Rashard Mendenhall to a season-ending fractured shoulder Monday night against Baltimore.
The earliest that Parker will play again is Oct. 19 at Cincinnati.
Mewelde Moore, normally the Steelers' third-down back, is expected to start Sunday night in Jacksonville, despite being limited to one carry this season before the 23-20 overtime win over Baltimore.
Davenport was released June 28, or two months after Mendenhall was drafted, because the Steelers owed him $1 million if they kept him this season.
