Pitt’s Ja’Kyrian Turner trending towards making return vs. Virginia Tech

Running back Ja'Kyrian Turner is expected to return for Pittsburgh's upcoming road matchup against Virginia Tech on Friday night. The sophomore has been sidelined since the second week of the season due to an injury, though head coach Pat Narduzzi and the undefeated Panthers have managed a 4-0 start without him.

Turner previously led the team's rushing attack during the previous season with 745 yards and seven touchdowns. The Hokies present a tough defensive test by allowing just 83.3 rushing yards per contest inside Lane Stadium, meaning quarterback Mason Heintschel may need to help carry the offensive load.
