Carted off the field Holstein (ankle) was carted off the field during Saturday's matchup versus Louisville, per Matt McGavic of SI.com.
Impact Holstein day is likely over as he was spotted wearing an air cast over his left ankle. With Holstein sidelined, Nate Yarnell is now in at quarterback for Pittsburgh, who completed 64 of his 102 pass attempts for 664 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions while filling in for Holstein earlier in the season.
NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Starting vs. Louisville Holstein will start for Pittsburgh against Louisville, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Holstein missed last week's game against Clemson, but will return against the Cardinals. This will send Nate Yarnell to the bench. Holstein has thrown for 2,177 yards, 17 touchdowns and six interceptions this season.
NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared for Saturday Holstein has been cleared to play in Saturday's game at Louisville, however the team has not yet decided on a starter, Stephen Thompson of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Holstein was held out of last week's game due to a head injury and following Nate Yarnell's productive performance, head coach Pat Narduzzi has yet to make a decision on who will start versus the Cardinals. Holstein will likely have the edge, but Narduzzi seems to be holding his decision close to make it more difficult for Louisville to prepare.
NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Still not cleared Holstein (head) is still not cleared from protocol, Jerry DiPaola of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Being wary of a concussion, Pittsburgh's team still needs at least a bit more time to determine an official status on Holstein. The team's 2024 regular season will conclude with consecutive road games, vital to the Panthers clinching a significant bowl game in postseason play.
NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Officially out Holstein (head) has officially been ruled out for Pittsburgh's clash with Clemson, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Holstein suffered a head injury against Virginia, and was forced to leave that game. The quarterback will now miss his first contest of the 2024 season, paving the way for Nate Yarnell to start for the Panthers. Holstein has tossed for 2,177 yards, 17 touchdowns and six interceptions this fall.
NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not expected to play Saturday Holstein (head) is not expected to play Saturday against Clemson, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Nate Yarnell is expected to start for Pitt. Holstein exited the Virginia-Pittsburgh game during the third quarter after taking a hard hit during his slide attempt on a 2nd-and-4 play, missing the remainder of the game.

Game-time decision Saturday Holstein (head) is a game-time decision for Pittsburgh's game Saturday against Clemson, Jerry DiPaola of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Holstein's injury status will be updated Saturday, and the hope for Pittsburgh's team is that it can get its QB1 healthy for what is scheduled to be a tough home game against Clemson. Should he not be available then, Nate Yarnell would be in line to start against the Tigers.
NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Underwhelming before injury Holstein (head) completed 10 of 23 passes for 121 yards during Saturday's 24-19 defeat to Virginia. He also had seven rushes for 18 yards.
Impact Holstein left the game in the third quarter and didn't return, prompting Nate Yarnell to take over as the Panthers' gunslinger. Pittsburgh wound up losing the game, their second straight loss after a 7-0 start. What's more, Holstein's play has deteriorated as well, even before his injury. He should remain the starter if healthy, but this isn't the same quarterback from Pittsburgh's hot start.

Suffers head injury Holstein suffered a head injury during Pittsburgh's game Saturday against Virginia, Karl Ludwig of Pittsburgh Sports Now reports.
Impact Holstein exited the Virginia-Pittsburgh game during the third quarter after taking a hard hit during his slide attempt on a 2nd-and-4 play. He missed the remainder of Pittsburgh's game and could sit out Pitt's next matchup entirely should his head need more time to recover. As a result, Holstein's injury status is questionable as the Panthers prepare for Clemson next Saturday.
NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles in first loss Holstein was 29-for-47 passing for 248 yards and one interception during Saturday's 48-25 loss to Southern Methodist. He also had 10 rushes for 19 yards.
Impact Holstein is beginning to his a wall as the season enters the home stretch. He's thrown two touchdowns and three interceptions over the past three games combined after throwing at least three touchdowns in each of his first five games. Pittsburgh took a tough loss to the high-power SMU Mustangs, and Holstein will look to bounce back next week in a very winnable game against Virginia.

Will play vs. SMU Holstein (undisclosed) will start for Pittsburgh against SMU, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact This is huge news for the Panthers, as Holstein has been a revelation at quarterback on the North Shore and is one of the key factors in Pittsburgh's 7-0 start this fall. He's tossed for 1,808 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions while completing 64 percent of his passes. There was some doubt earlier in the week about his availability, but it's now confirmed Pittsburgh will have its starter in a huge game against SMU.

No. 18 Pitt taking a 'wait and see' approach with QB Eli Holstein ahead of visit to No. 20 SMU

Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi is keeping his cards close to the vest regarding quarterback Eli Holstein
OCTOBER 28, 2024 • Associated Press
Efficient in shortened performance Holstein (undisclosed) was 11-for-15 passing for 108 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 41-13 victory against Syracuse. He also had six rushes for 20 yards.
Impact Holstein was taken to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's annihilation of Syracuse, but the injury is reportedly not all that serious. Meanwhile, Holstein had to do very little while his defense recorded three pick-sixes against a hapless Orange team. It was easily Holstein's quietest output of the season, but his team remains undefeated and he appears to have avoided a serious injury.
OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Wait and see situation Holstein (undisclosed) is a "wait and see situation" this week, Christopher Carter of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Even though Pittsburgh's head coach Pat Narduzzi previously said that Holstein "will be fine" following his undisclosed injury, it will continue to be a prominent problem as the Panthers prepare for their upcoming game. Holstein's update downgrades his injury status from probable to questionable now with under a week before they play at SMU on Saturday.

Injury not serious Holstein "will be fine" according to head coach Pat Narduzzi, Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Holstein was taken out of the game and into the locker room in the fourth quarter of Saturday's blowout win, but the injury is not serious. Narduzzi said that Holstein was smiling and jumping around in the locker room and that he was held out as a precaution. His status is still worth monitoring during the week, but it seems unlikely this will cost him any time in the future.
OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Heads to locker room late Thursday Holstein (undisclosed) was taken to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game versus Syracuse, Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Holstein headed to the locker room in the fourth quarter after being tackled following a 13-yard run. With so little time left in the game and the Panthers up big, it's unlikely he will return. The severity of his injury is currently unknown.
