Florida State’s offensive depth chart took a significant hit on Tuesday night when the Seminoles confirmed that running back Quintrevion Wisner is out for Friday’s ACC matchup against the Pittsburgh Panthers. This development marks the third running back ruled out for the contest, joining Ousmane Kromah and Sam Singleton on the injury list. The absence of these three primary ball carriers forces the coaching staff to rely heavily on backup options or adjust the game plan to mitigate the loss of rushing volume and play-action threats.
Seminoles face a depleted roster as Friday’s ACC clash looms with key skill players sidelined.
The injury report reveals a broader crisis for FSU, with a total of eleven players confirmed out for the shortened-week game. Beyond the running back trio, the Seminoles will be without defensive backs Quindarrius Jones and Karson Hobbs, wide receiver Duce Robinson, linebackers Izayia Williams, Daylen Green, and Noah LaVallee, offensive lineman Bradyn Welch-Joiner, and defensive lineman Kevin Wynn. Additionally, defensive back Jamari Howard, who has been sidelined for an extended period, has been upgraded to questionable, while Deante McCray, Caleb LaVallee, and kicker Conor McAneney remain in doubt.
Pittsburgh faces its own challenges, with eight players ruled out, including quarterback Mason Heintschel and tight ends Elijah Lagg and Max Hunt. The Panthers will also miss wide receivers Tyreek and Dunbar, defensive backs Allen Bryant and Issac Patterson, and linebacker Cameron Lindsey. With both teams dealing with significant absences and a compressed preparation schedule due to the Friday kickoff, the game promises to be a test of adaptability and depth for both rosters.
