PITTSBURGH (AP)—Wide receiver Joey Galloway(notes) has been added to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster as the replacement for Limas Sweed(notes).
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.
Galloway was cut by New England earlier this season.
The Steelers also signed long snapper Jared Retkofsky(notes) to replace Greg Warren(notes), 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.
Retkofsky had been playing for the New York Sentinels of the United Football League.

Joey Galloway is toast; how is he going to help us? I’d rather give Limas a chance to be a part of the process, injured or not, even if we ultimately have to let him go after the season. Coach Tomlin is sure making some curious moves of late.
