PITTSBURGH (AP) -Steelers wide receiver Limas Sweed injured his left Achilles tendon during the final day of a three-day minicamp, and coach Mike Tomlin says the injury could be serious.
Sweed was hurt during a routine passing drill on Sunday and was taken off the Steelers’ indoor practice field on a cart. He later left the team’s practice facility on crutches.
If the Achilles is ruptured, Sweed likely would miss the season.
Sweed, a second-round draft pick from Texas in 2008, had seven catches in his first two NFL seasons and was a major disappointment to the Steelers. He was removed from the active roster Dec. 22 for what the team said were personal reasons.
