Pitt QB Eli Holstein Suffers Serious Leg Injury in Loss to Louisville

Holstein was carted off the field in the first quarter after a sack, marking his second injury setback this season.

Eli Holstein, Pittsburgh's starting quarterback, left the game against Louisville in the first quarter with a left leg injury after being sacked by Ashton Gillotte.
Medical staff placed an air cast on Holstein's leg before he was carted off the field and taken to a hospital for further evaluation.
Holstein's injury follows a recent concussion that caused him to miss last week's game against Clemson, adding to a challenging season for the redshirt freshman.
Backup quarterback Nate Yarnell replaced Holstein, completing 11 of 23 passes for 96 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Panthers' 37-9 loss.
Holstein, a transfer from Alabama, had led Pitt to a 7-0 start earlier this season and has been a key player with 17 touchdown passes and over 2,100 passing yards.
