Steelers give up on Limas Sweed
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/17/steelers-give-up-on-limas-sweed/
In a move that should surprise no one, the Steelers have parted ways with receiver Limas Sweed (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4679/limas-sweed).
A second-round pick in the 2008 draft, Sweed was supposed to be the big receiver whom Ben Roethlisberger (http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/1181/ben-roethlisberger) coveted, to the dismay of Hines Ward (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08025/852112-66.stm).
Sweed was waived earlier today with the “injured” designation. If he isn’t claimed, he’ll land on the Steelers’ injured reserve list. Either way, he won’t be playing for the Steelers this year, absent a timely injury settlement, which would allow him to return to the team later in the year. (It gets complicated.)
