KENNETH GAINWELL

Running Back

No Jaylen Warren.

No time to devise a plan because the injury happened late in the week.

And no running game to speak of through the first three weeks of the season.

No problem.

Kenneth Gainwell rushed for 99 yards on 19 carries (5.2 average) and scored 2 touchdowns; he also caught 6 passes for 35 yards to finish with 134 yards from scrimmage in a 24-21 victory over Minnesota in the first NFL regular season game played in Ireland. He is the Steelers Digest Player of the Week.

Also considered were DeShon Elliott, who had 6 tackles, 1 sack, 2 hits on the QB, 1 interception, 2 passes defensed, and 1 forced fumble; Nick Herbig, who had 5 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 3 hits on the QB; DK Metcalf, who caught 5 passes for 126 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown
