#80 Limas Sweed   Pos: Wide Receiver NFL Team: PIT Injury: OK Experience: 3 College: Texas Height: 76 Weight: 220 Born: 12/25/1984  Year   Tm   Gm   Catch   Yds   TDs   Tgt   Rush   Yds   TDs   Fum  2009 PIT 9 1 5 0 5 0 0 0 0 2008 PIT 12 6 64 0 - 0 0 0 1 SUMMARY Wide Receiver Rank: #343    Overall: #1036 Sweed missed all of last season because of a torn Achilles' tendon. He was injured very early in the offseason, which gives him a decent chance to be about full strength for the start of training camp. The problem for Sweed is many options moved ahead of him on the depth chart while he was out. Sweed hasn't done much to enamor the coaching staff while healthy and playing. He has just seven receptions for his career. At this point, Sweed is battling for a roster spot. He is likely going to have a hard time finding the field. Sweed is a big target (6-4) and can stretch the field in a hurry because of his size and speed. He isn't a great route runner, though, and struggles with drops. FANTASY OUTLOOK Sweed has some talent, but doesn't seem to get "it." You never know with receivers early in their career, but Sweed isn't a guy to draft. He might be worth a waiver-wire grab if he finally puts it all together this season. 2011-09-15 10:33:01 The Pittsburgh Steelers waived WR Limas Sweed (shoulder) from Injured Reserve this week. The team placed him on the waived/injured list Aug. 17, but once he cleared waivers they were required to keep him on Injured Reserve until his shoulder healed. Sweed received no injury settlement. Fantasy Impact: Sweed has done nothing but disappoint since entering the league. He might get a chance with another team but don't expect much.

Fantasy Impact: Sweed has a lot of talent but couldn't stay healthy and did little with his chances when on the field. Source: KFFL.com 2011-08-07 12:02:59 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Limas Sweed (shoulder) suffered a sprained shoulder during practice Saturday, Aug. 6. Fantasy Impact: Not great for Sweed, who is fighting for a roster spot. Source: KFFL.com 2011-06-06 12:23:02 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Limas Sweed likely will have to perform well during the preseason and show that he is recovered from the Achilles' tendon injury he suffered last offseason if he wants to make the final roster. Sweed appears to be the No. 6 wide receiver on the depth chart at this point. Fantasy Impact: Sweed is a long shot to do anything this season. Source: KFFL.com 2011-06-01 11:42:56 The Pittsburgh Steelers likely will keep WR Limas Sweed on the roster during training camp to see if he has the ability to make the team. Fantasy Impact: Sweed has ability but is quickly falling down the depth chart. He would do well to land with another team. Source: KFFL.com 2011-02-23 11:13:02 Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said WR Limas Sweed (Achilles') is still a part of the team's plans but will have to compete for a roster spot, reports Scott Brown, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Fantasy Impact: Sweed seems a long shot to stick with the team in 2011. Source: KFFL.com 2011-02-02 11:43:02 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Limas Sweed (Achilles') said he believes he is in the team's plans for next season, reports Mark Kaboly, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Sweed has missed the 2010 season because of an Achilles' injury. Source: KFFL.com 2010-05-11 17:03:02 The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed WR Limas Sweed (Achilles') on Injured Reserve after he cleared waivers, reports Aaron Wilson, of NationalFootballPost.com. Sweed will miss the 2010 season. Fantasy Impact: That was quick. Sweed's career in the NFL could be done. Source: KFFL.com 2010-05-03 16:33:02 Pittsburgh Steelers WR Limas Sweed (Achilles') underwent surgery on his Achilles' tendon injury Monday, May 3, reports Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The team confirmed the surgery but would not say what the specific injury Sweed suffered. Fantasy Impact: Sweed is likely done for the year. Source: KFFL.com 2010-05-02 13:43:02 Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said WR Limas Sweed (Achilles') left practice Sunday, May 2, with a potentially major Achilles' tendon injury, according to SIRIUS NFL Radio. Fantasy Impact: We'll keep you posted. Sweed was already in danger of losing a roster spot, so this doesn't help. Source: KFFL.com
