Malik Knight - Good to go versus Florida State Knight (undisclosed) is available for Friday's matchup versus Florida State, per the ACC availability report.

Impact There were initial concerns about Knight's status for Friday's matchup after he sustained an injury in Week 9 against Georgia Tech, but the wideout is slated to suit up. He benefited from a timely bye week that allowed him additional time to recover. He has made the most of his limited opportunities this season, appearing in five games and hauling in 15 receptions for 204 yards and one touchdown.

Elijah Lagg - Will not play Friday Lagg (undisclosed) will not play in Friday's contest versus Florida State, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Lagg's absence will be extended for at least another week. The tight end's 2026 season has stayed firm at seven receptions for 76 yards and one touchdown. After Week 11, Lagg's next chance to play is at Louisville on Nov. 21.

Ja'Kyrian Turner - Considered questionable for Week 11 Turner (lower body) is questionable for Friday's game versus Florida State, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Turner's 50-50 split on his availability is an improvement, considering his chances of an immediate return previously looked bleak. The running back will not have the maximum time to recover, as Pittsburgh's team is preparing for a weekday game in Week 11.

Ja'Kyrian Turner - Faces cloudy return outlook Turner (lower body) does not appear close to returning from injury after Pittsburgh's bye week, per Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Impact That's another discouraging sign for Turner's near-term availability after he's sat out three straight games and had a bye in Week 10. Though he has yet to be officially ruled out, head coach Pat Narduzzi's comments -- in which he told the media to not "get their hopes up" -- is a strong indication that Pitt will continue to rely on Damon Ferguson and LaVell Wright in the backfield against Florida State.

College Football Rankings: New No. 1 Team As CFB Chaos And Upsets Reign Supreme

Carson Kent - Four receptions in home victory Kent had four receptions (on nine targets) for 41 yards during Saturday's 34-11 win against Georgia Tech.

Impact Kent has totaled 18 receptions across the past four outings, going four at least four receptions in three of those games. However, he hasn't scored a touchdown in five games dating back to Sept. 26 against Bucknell of the FCS.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Cataurus Hicks - Gets into end zone Hicks hauled in 3 of 4 targets for 49 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-11 victory against Georgia Tech.

Impact Blue is working on a three-game touchdown streak, and he has scored five touchdowns across the past five outings. He is also working on a six-game run with at least three receptions, and he has three or more catches in eight of his nine outings. He'll look to push his TD streak to four in a row next time out on Nov. 13 against Florida State.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Censere Lee - Records 56 yards against Ga. Tech Lee notched three receptions (on five targets) for 56 yards during Saturday's 34-11 win against Georgia Tech.

Impact Lee saw his most receptions since going for five catches at Virginia Tech on Oct. 2, and his yardage total was the most since the regular-season opener against Miami-Ohio on Sept. 5. His 18.7 yards per reception also marked his best production of the season.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

La'Vell Wright - Punches in fifth TD of 2026 Wright posted 13 carries for 52 yards and one touchdown and caught their only target for 10 yards during Saturday's 34-11 victory versus Georgia Tech.

Impact Wright has racked up five rushing touchdowns in the past six games. As long as Damon Ferguson Jr. is healthy and available, Wright's fantasy appeal is rather limited. However, he continues to make the most of his opportunities. Next up is a visit from Florida State on Nov. 13 in the Steel City.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Damon Ferguson Jr. - Goes off against Ramblin' Wreck Ferguson posted 31 carries for a career-high 185 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in 1 of 3 targets for 11 yards during Saturday's 34-11 victory against Georgia Tech.

Impact Ferguson averaged 6.0 yards per carry while finding the end zone twice, as the freshman recorded his first-ever multi-score game. It was his third 100-yard game, too, and the 31 carries, and 32 total touches, also set a career best. He is making a name for himself, and appears to be a rising star heading into the next game Nov. 13 against Florida State.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Holden Geriner - Extremely inefficient in home victory Geriner was 13-for-30 passing for 180 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-11 win against Georgia Tech.

Impact Geriner turned in a dismal 23.8 QBR, misfiring on 17 pass attempts. However, freshman Corey Dailey came on late, and he wasn't much better, misfiring on his two attempts, with one interception. Geriner also showed off some ability to escape. He'll look to tighten up his accuracy next time out on Nov. 13 against Florida State.

Malik Knight - Dealing with minor injury Head coach Pat Narduzzi indicated that Knight (undisclosed) is dealing with a minor injury suffered during Saturday's contest, per Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette...

Impact Knight suffered the injury during the first half of Saturday's contest and did not return against Georgia Tech, but Narduzzi's comments indicate that he should be fine. The 6-foot-1 senior has caught 15 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown across five game for the Panthers this season. His status will be worth keeping an eye on as the week progresses.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Ja'Kyrian Turner - Sits out again Turner (lower body) did not play in Saturday's 34-11 victory over Georgia Tech.

Impact Turner was unable to suit up for Pittsburgh on Saturday despite going through pregame warmups. His presence on the field prior to kickoff suggests a return could be near. In his absence, Damon Ferguson has seen an expanded role in the backfield. Turner will have a chance to return against Florida State on Nov. 13 following an upcoming bye week.

Malik Knight - Leaves game Saturday Knight (undisclosed) exited Saturday's contest against Georgia Tech, per Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Impact Knight appeared to hit his head on the turf after being targeted on a pass attempt. The wideout left the game at the beginning of the second quarter, having logged three targets without a reception prior to exiting. He reportedly entered the medical tent and emerged shortly thereafter, though he was not spotted on the sideline. For the time being, his return to the field remains questionable.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Tyreek Robinson - Won't play Saturday Robinson (undisclosed) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game versus Georgia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Robinson will miss his second straight game. The receiver has five catches for 78 yards and one touchdown this fall as a minor part of the Panthers' passing game.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Ja'Kyrian Turner - Game-time decision for Saturday Turner (lower body) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game versus Georgia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Turner's availability will presumably come down to warmups and how he feels ahead of kickoff. The running back is aiming to return for the first time since Week 6 against North Carolina. If he is unavailable, Damon Ferguson is in line to see more work in the backfield once again for Pittsburgh.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Tyreek Robinson - Question mark to play Saturday Robinson has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Georgia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Robinson has not played the last two weeks and is in danger of potentially missing a third. He has all five catches this season in one game against Bucknell earlier this year and is not expected to be a factor if active.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Damon Ferguson Jr. - Will be available for Week 9 Ferguson (undisclosed) has been given the green light for Saturday's clash with Georgia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Ferguson popped up as questionable but will end up being able to go. He's compiled 26 carries for 158 yards and a score over his last two weeks and figures to remain involved out of the backfield.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Lagg - Won't play Saturday Lagg (undisclosed) is unavailable for Saturday's game versus Georgia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Lagg's continued absence will extend as he last played in Week 4. The tight end serves as the backup to Carson Kent, so the team will need to rely on a reserve to fill his role. He has an upcoming bye week that grants him extended time to recover.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Ja'Kyrian Turner - Considered questionable versus Georgia Tech Turner (lower body) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest versus Georgia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Turner, who has made just three appearances this season due to a lower body injury, is officially questionable for Saturday. With Damon Ferguson (undisclosed) also questionable, the Panthers are at risk of playing without their top two backs. If that were the case, La'Vell Wright would be next in line to lead the backfield.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Damon Ferguson Jr. - Considered questionable versus Georgia Tech Ferguson (undisclosed) has been deemed questionable for Saturday's matchup versus Georgia Tech, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Ferguson's status for Saturday's game is officially questionable, although head coach Pat Narduzzi said on Monday that he thinks Ferguson will be available. The true freshman has been excellent in place of the injured Ja'Kyrian Turner (lower body), gaining nearly 600 yards and scoring five touchdowns across eight appearances.
