With Pitt now missing wide receiver Tre Tipton for the season, I wanted to take a closer look as far as what this likely means for the team.
Tipton wasn't going to be relied upon as a starter with Jester Weah and Quadree Henderson assuming those roles. Assuming those guys stay healthy, Pitt isn't losing a starter. The team is, however, losing their No. 3 receiver heading into training camp and that's always a blow because that guy is usually the first man up in the event of an injury. If a starter goes down, now that's two guys with some good experience they've now got to try to replace.
