First Ben gets into trouble and will sit, then Santonio is shipped out, now draft bust Sweed possibly ruptures his Achilles.



Limas Sweed suffers Achilles tendon injury

Posted by Michael David Smith on May 2, 2010 1:24 PM ET

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Limas Sweed left Sunday's final minicamp practice with an injury that could keep him out for the entire season.

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that coach Mike Tomlin said it looks like a serious Achilles tendon injury.

A ruptured Achilles tendon would likely prevent Sweed from playing at all in 2010.

The Steelers' second-round draft pick in 2008, Sweed has caught just seven passes in two years in Pittsburgh. The Steelers released a statement last month in which Sweed said he's been dealing with "personal issues."

I don't really see this affecting their receiving corps much... he hasn't done much out of college.

He has done jack, you're right. But they look pretty thin at the spot now. I have no clue who their 3rd string WR is right now....I know they drafted Sanders this year, but man, who do they have? I wanna say they have another guy they drafted when they took Wallace that hasn't done much either.

Not sure how a guy who has caught 7 passes in 2 years getting injured is causing the team to take a hit but anything bad happening to the steelers is good news

No, not Randle El, but completely forgot they resigned him. Guess he's the #3.

Yup, they resigned Antwan Randle El

They also have the following WR on the roster..

Arnaz Battle
Antonio Brown
Jason Chery
Tyler Grisham
Brandon London
Emmanul Sanders (Drafted this year)
Sweed of course.......
Hines Ward..

I don't know anything about anyone else except Ward and El

Don't forget Mike Wallace who was pretty good as a rookie last year.

The dude I was thinking of was Logan, if he's still around.

Wallace and Ward- thats a solid 1-2 punch. The Sweed injury really does not hurt them that much.
