Earlier this week, I gave an injury update for Pitt as they head into tonight's game against Akron. But since head coach Pat Narduzzi gave some more details later in the week, I figured it was worth a quick mention.
The good news is that running back Chris James and center Artie Rowell are ready to go and will play against the Zips tonight. Rowell played last week but was still a little banged up. James left the game against Youngstown State early and did not return. With the season-ending injury to starter James Conner, it was important for the Panthers to get him back in the lineup.
