The Steelers on Tuesday placed wide receiver Limas Sweed on the reserve/injured list, meaning the third-year player will miss the entire 2010 season.
Sweed, a 2008 second-round draft pick, suffered an Achilles tendon injury at the team's mini-camp May 2.
The Steelers replaced Sweed on their offseason roster by signing first-year wide receiver Isaiah Williams. Williams signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted rookie in 2009, but was released prior to the regular season.

Sigh...
So, IF he makes a full recovery, what are the chances that the team gives him a chance to compete in 2011?
i believe the rooneys will give him a fair shake.
He'll get a shot. A lot depends on what happens with the team this season. If the two rookies show they can play, it may make him expendable. But I doubt they'll give up for him.
How sad. I remember his rookie year and how he seemed like a genuinely nice kid. He took the time to learn a little about the Steelers history and he seemed poised to make an impact. I guess sometimes life is just that way, but if he can come back next season and turn it around (I know we've said that before) then it will be quite a story.
Good luck kid.
Hopefully, if he has his head on straight, like everyone seems to say he has, he has taken advantage of this financial head start. He has made a lot of money already, lets hope he has taken advantage of his position even if he cannot make it back on the football field.
Limas Sweed is done for the season? Damn! There goes the Super Bowl.
