Steelers add veteran WR Galloway, get new long snapper

Dec 22, 2009, 01:40 PM

Wide receiver Joey Galloway has been added to the Pittsburgh Steelers' roster as the replacement for Limas Sweed.
Sweed was placed on injured reserve Monday with a non-football related illness. Coach Mike Tomlin would not reveal any details of Sweed's problem Tuesday.
The Steelers also signed long snapper Jared Retkofsky to replace Greg Warren, who injured a right knee ligament on the final play of Pittsburgh's win over Green Bay. Retkofsky was the Steelers' long snapper for the final two months and the playoffs last season after Warren tore a knee ligament.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Didn't know the Pats let him go.. hmm. Guess the Steelers are still playing for something.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.
