Steelers No. 2 draft pick carted off with leg cramp
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Rookie wide receiver Limas Sweed, the team's No. 2 draft choice, was carted from the field with ice attached to his right hamstring area and did not finish today's afternoon practice.
Coach Mike Tomlin, though, said the injury was nothing more than cramps -- the same injury that also claimed free-agent tackle Jeremy Parquet in the afternoon.
Before he left, Sweed made another nice play in practice, catching a pass on a crossing route, breaking a tackle by safety Grant Mason and running down the sideline for a touchdown..
"We took him off to protect him," Tomlin said. "He's a guy who runs all day. He's run a bunch and had some opportunities. The body betrayed him just a little bit."
