The Pittsburgh Steelers announced that Greg Warren and Limas Sweed will miss the remainder of the season on Monday.

Warren, the team’s long snapper, suffered a torn ACL on the final offensive play of the game for the Steelers (Roethlisberger to Mike Wallace with no time remaining).

It is the second time in as many seasons that Warren suffered that injury.

Jared Retkofsky was signed Monday to take over long snapping duties for the Steelers according to the Beaver County Times . He was also Warren’s replacement last season.

Sweed, meanwhile, was placed on the team’s reserve/non-football illness list. The exact reason behind the move is unknown.
