Pitt Panthers Lose Key Players to Injuries

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Donte Jackson suffered a hamstring injury during the game against the Washington Commanders and is questionable to return, while the Steelers maintained a relatively healthy roster aside from him and outside linebacker Nick Herbig, who is recovering from a previous hamstring injury. In college football, the Pitt Panthers faced a challenging matchup against Virginia, losing both their starting quarterback Eli Holstein and top wide receiver Konata Mumpfield to injuries. Mumpfield left the game after a hard fall while trying to catch a pass, while Holstein was hit late by a Virginia linebacker, resulting in ejection for the offender. This marks the second time in three weeks Holstein has exited a game due to a head injury. The Panthers' depth at wide receiver will be tested in Mumpfield's absence as they look to regroup after the injuries. The team's performance will depend heavily on the contributions of other receivers in the wake of these setbacks.
