Coach Mike Tomlin resumes his spring practices Tuesday after giving his team two weeks off from OTAs, although they continued to voluntarily lift and work out in Pittsburgh.

Rookie running back Rashard Mendenhall will return to Pittsburgh, where they'll get another look at the hamstring he injured on the first day of minicamp six days after he was drafted.

He said his leg feels "pretty good." So, too, has been his relationship with veteran halfback Willie Parker, the NFL's leading rusher through 14 games last season before he broke his fibula. The plan by Tomlin is to have Parker, who has topped 1,200 yards rushing in each of the past three seasons, and Mendenhall share time.
