Censere Lee News, Rumors, Updates - Pittsburgh Panthers | FOX Sports

Likely to redshirt Head coach Pat Narduzzi indicated that Lee is likely to redshirt the 2025 season, per Justin Guerriero of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Impact Lee has yet to play a game for the Panthers this season due to nagging injuries and appears set to sit out the rest of the season. The 5-foot-11 receiver caught 19 passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns for Pitt during the 2024 season and was hoping to step into a larger role within the offense but will evidently have to wait until the 2026 season to do so. He will retain a single year of eligibility.

Good to go Saturday Lee is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus Louisville.

Impact Lee is set to make his season debut Saturday after missing the first three games of the season due to an undisclosed injury. Across 10 games last season he caught 19 passes (on 31 targets) for 254 yards and three touchdowns, so he could be a contributor for the Panthers this season.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as probable Lee (undisclosed) is listed as probable on the availability report for Saturday's game against Louisville, Abby Schnable of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Lee was absent from the team's depth chart earlier in the day but has popped up as probable as the injury report, putting him in line to potentially suit up and make his season debut Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Not on depth chart for Saturday Lee (undisclosed) is not on the team's depth chart ahead of Saturday's game versus Louisville, Stephen Thompson of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact This is a bad sign for Lee's chances to play Saturday and he looks likely to miss his fourth consecutive game to start the season. He had 19 receptions for 254 yards and three touchdowns last season and figures to play a role in this offense when healthy.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Warmed up for nothing Lee (undisclosed) did not play during Pittsburgh's 61-9 win Saturday against Duquesne.

Impact Lee both dressed and warmed up for Pittsburgh's latest game Saturday. Nonetheless, Pitt dominated Duquesne. Among the Panthers' wide receivers, Cataurus Hicks, Bryce Yates and Kenny Johnson all logged receiving touchdowns.

Dressed and warming up Lee (undisclosed) is dressed and warming up for Saturday's game against Duquesne, Nathan Breisinger of Pittsburgh Sports Now reports.

Impact Lee dressed and warming up indicates that he will likely be available for Pittsburgh's upcoming game. During 2024, the Pitt wideout logged 19 receptions for 254 yards (13.4 averaged per reception) and three touchdowns. Lee's availability gives the Pittsburgh receiver corps a proven option who can make defeating Duquesne much easier.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Still recovering, may be available Lee (undisclosed) is still recovering but may be available for Pittsburgh's upcoming game Saturday against Duquesne, Abby Schnable of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact It appears that Lee either has not fully recovered from his previous leg problem or suffered a new injury that is undisclosed. Regardless, he is at 99 percent and may be available for Pittsburgh's upcoming game. Lee was not expected to be ready until October, so him being used Saturday -- still August -- would have been a significantly positive development.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in practice Lee (leg) was observed via social media participating in drills during practice.

Impact Lee missed the spring game as he battled through a leg injury that nagged him at the end of last season. The senior wide receiver totaled 19 receptions for 254 yards and three touchdowns across 10 games.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Misses spring game Lee (leg) missed Pittsburgh's spring game, Nathan Breisinger of Pittsburgh Sports Now reports.

Impact Lee missed the last three games of 2024 campaign with the same right leg injury, and he's now questionable heading into the beginning of this upcoming year. The 5-foot-11 wide receiver still has plenty of time to get back to full health, as he should be primed for ample playing time if he's active for Week 1 against Duquesne.

MAY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Out for remainder of season Lee (undisclosed) is out for the remainder of Pittsburgh's 2024 season, Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact According to an earlier post from Carter, Lee suffered an injury to his right leg during Pitt's game Saturday against Clemson. After the matchup, he was ruled out for his 2024 season. It saw him log a significantly less output than his 2023 season, though that was expected following his big jump in competition. Still, Lee recorded almost 20 receptions for over 250 yards and several touchdowns.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores vs Syracuse Lee caught all two targets for 21 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 41-13 win against Syracuse.

Impact Lee was hardly looked at save for his two targets, but Pittsburgh's passing game didn't need to do much while its defense recorded three pick-sixes. Lee's target share remains inconsistent, but the wideout now has three touchdowns over the past four games.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores for second-straight week Lee hauled in all four targets for 38 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-24 victory over North Carolina.

Impact Lee's touchdown was his second in as many games for the Panthers. After a relatively quiet Weeks 2 and 3, he's really picked up his involvement in this passing game, seeing a combined nine targets over the past two games. He'll look to stay hot in what's been a scorching Pittsburgh passing attack next week against California.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Big day in big win Lee gathered in 4 of 5 targets for 108 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 73-17 win against Youngstown State.

Impact Lee had his best performance of the season in a blowout win over Youngstown State. The wideout saw five targets after seeing just three the previous two weeks combined. Lee doesn't appear to be a week-in, week-out top option for the Panthers, but if Week 4 and the opener were any indication, he'll have his big games, especially when he's peppered with targets.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up targets in win Lee reeled in 6 of 10 targets for 72 yards during Saturday's 55-24 victory against Kent State.

Impact Lee was Pittsburgh's most-targeted receiver with 10, and while that only translated to 72 yards, that's a good sign that new Panthers quarterback Eli Holstein likes Lee as a downfield target. The wideout should continue to be heavily involved in the offense moving forward.
