Head Coach Pat Narduzzi won’t say it, but I believe it happens this weekend. The injury report as mandated by the ACC came out yesterday. And even by those vague standards, Avonte Maddox is not looking likely to play.
Pitt junior cornerback Avonte Maddox, who has started the past 24 games, is listed as doubtful on the team’s injury report, released Thursday by coach Pat Narduzzi. Pitt plays its third ACC game Saturday at Virginia.
Maddox injured his arm in the second quarter of Pitt’s victory last Saturday against Georgia Tech. He was replaced by redshirt freshman Dane Jackson, who finished the game with four tackles.
That leaves Dane Jackson as the starter with Ryan Lewis and just Phillipe Motley as the only player on the depth chart without a redshirt to burn.
