Injuries appear to have opened the door for Pittsburgh rookie receiver Limas Sweed to debut this Sunday against the Bengals. "He's come a long way," said Roethlisberger of Sweed. "It's hard because you don't get a lot of work in practice with me because I've got to work with the other guys (the starters). I'm sure if he gets a chance, he'll do just great." Sweed is wondering if fans are confused as to why he hasn't produced for the team just yet. "A receiver is just like a quarterback in a sense," Sweed said. "He has to make so many reads on the run, and that enables him and the quarterback to be on the same page. So it just takes time and I understand that. I'm very patient and when my opportunity comes, I'm going to step in and make the best of it."
