Pitt RB Reid Out vs. Georgia Tech
23 Nov
Summary
- Pitt running back Desmond Reid is out against Georgia Tech.
- Reid is sidelined with a lower-body injury, specifically an ankle issue.
- This is Reid's fourth missed game of the season.
Pittsburgh will be without key offensive player Desmond Reid for their upcoming matchup against No. 16 Georgia Tech. The running back is sidelined with a lower-body injury, reportedly an ankle issue, which will cause him to miss his fourth game of the season. Reid has been a vital dual-threat for the Panthers, ranking second in rushing and fourth in receiving.
The absence of Reid comes at a critical juncture for No. 23 Pitt, who hold a 7-3 record and are vying for position in the ACC. They face a formidable challenge against Georgia Tech's offense, which ranks first nationally in yards per game. The Yellow Jackets also boast a highly efficient red-zone unit.
The Panthers' defense, ranked ninth nationally against the run, will be tasked with containing Georgia Tech's quarterback Haynes King. Offensively, Pitt will rely more on quarterback Mason Heintschel and running back Ja'Kyrian Turner to keep pace with Georgia Tech's potent offense.
