Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett injured his ankle in his team’s 31-30 loss to Boston College last week, leaving his status for the Miami game in question. On Saturday, Brett McMurphy of Stadium reported that Pickett will not start for Pitt, and it was later revealed that he did not travel to Miami with the team.

Saturday’s game is the first matchup Pickett will miss this season and just the second he will miss since the start of the 2019 season.
