Louisville RB Jawhar Jordan Unlikely to Play in Second Half vs. Pitt

The redshirt junior has been a key component to the undefeated Cardinals' offense.

PITTSBURGH - If the Louisville football program is to hold on and capture a road win at Pitt, they will likely have to do so without one of their top offensive playmakers.

When asked during a halftime interview if running back Jawhar Jordan would play in the second half against the Panthers, head coach Jeff Brohm responded with "probably not." 

Jordan saw action on the first drive of the game, getting two carries for eight yards, but did not enter for the rest of the game. Per the broadcast, the electric all-purpose back is nursing a hamstring injury.

Louisville (6-0, 3-0 ACC) leads Pitt (1-4, 0-2 ACC) 21-14 at the half.
