It’d be an understatement to say the Pittsburgh Panthers are dealing with some issues at quarterback.
According to Pete Thamel of ESPN, Pitt quarterback Kedon Slovis remains a game-time decision for tonight’s showdown with Western Michigan due to an upper-body injury.
Slovis’ primary backup, Nick Patti, didn’t make the trip for this weekend’s game due to a leg injury.
If Slovis is unable to play against Western Michigan, the next quarterback up for Pitt would either be redshirt freshman Nate Yarnell or grad transfer Derek Kyler.
Of course, Pitt would love to have Slovis under center for tonight’s game. The USC transfer has been sharp this season, completing 30-of-48 pass attempts for 503 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
In the event Slovis can’t suit up tonight, Pitt will need to run its offense through Israel Abanikanda. He had 154 rushing yards and a touchdown against Tennessee last week.
Kickoff for the Pitt-Western Michigan game is at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU.
