Injuries are mounting in Latrobe today: Jim Wexell said that Limas Sweed has a separated shoulder, wrapped in ice. Jonathan Scott was carted off with an ankle injury. Tomlin said he doesn't believe they are serious injuries.
Also Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen are out with hamstrings. Crezdon Butler did not practice.
Adam Mims left with a hamstring injury.
Arnaz Battle, back spasms
Update on Sweed, sprained shoulder, not separated.
Also Ramon Foster left with an apparent but not confirmed ankle injury, believed also to not be serious at this point.
Separated shoulder doesn't sound too good.
Yeah his day is over, it's wrapped in ice. Could not be fully separated but we don't know for sure just yet. Either way the dude is missing more time; not good for his "comeback" bid to be the "tall WR that Pittsburgh needs".
Not sure what to say, maybe he's just not built for the NFL.
Goodbye lima bean the china doll . I had high hope for him
hope they have Starks on speed dial
I really want to see Sweed make it this year, but it looks like everything that could go wrong for him does. Granted, a separated shoulder isn't a huge injury, but it is always something. Hopefully it is just a matter of him shaking off the rust.

Going thru tape, I noticed Sweed has sprained shoulder not separated shoulder.
Update on injuries
Tomlin on injuries: “Kind of a laundry list of training camp-like injuries and I’ll go down some of them. Of course, Maurkice Pounceyhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflim...ticle-link.gif has a minor ankle sprain. Hopefully we’ll have him back here the first of next week or at some point. The normal guys that you know about have been down. Some new ones: Arnaz Battlehttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflim...ticle-link.gif has some back spasms, Limas Sweedhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflim...ticle-link.gif has a sprained shoulder, Jonathan Scotthttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflim...ticle-link.gif has an ankle, Adam Mimshttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflim...ticle-link.gif had a tight hamstring and Donovan Warrenhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflim...ticle-link.gif had a hip flexor. Training camp-type things and these guys need to take advantage of their down time and stay ahead of the curve when given the opportunity. We’ll continue to press forward with the guys that are healthy and ready to work. I always have that mentality and those guys are taking advantage of reps and getting some conditioning at the same time.”
Tomlin also added that Ramon Fosterhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflim...ticle-link.gif, who left practice early, had a training camp injury he said is minor, as is the injury to Scott.
I swear to god, Limas Sweed could fart and he would produce season ending hemorrhoids, that would require surgery or complete butt amputation.
