Five Pitt Starters Return From Injury for ACC Opener

PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers are slowly but surely becoming whole again after suffering injuries to multiple starters over the course of the first four weeks of the season. As they prepared for the ACC opener against Georgia Tech, five Pitt starters who had missed time were back in uniform and warming up.

Cornerback Marquis Williams, defensive tackle Devin Danielson, defensive end Habakkuk Baldonado, wide receiver Jared Wayne, defensive end Deslin Alexandre and tight end Gavin Bartholomew, all of whom missed all or part of the Panthers' Week 4 game against Rhode Island. All of them except Danielson were announced as part of the starting lineups before kickoff.

Bartholomew left in the first half after suffering an apparent arm injury. He reappeared on the sidelines later with his arm in a sling.

Baldonado and Williams dressed but did not play against Rhode Island. Their injuries are undisclosed.

Alexandre had been out since the second quarter of the West Virginia game with a wrist injury.

Wayne has missed the last six quarters with an upper body injury. He and Williams both did not play in the second half of the Western Michigan game.

Devin Danielson went down with an injury in the Tennessee game and had not dressed for the past two weeks. He's listed as a cos-starter with David Green on the depth chart.
