Pat Narduzzi Confirms Pitt QB Kedon Slovis is Fully Healthy

PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers won last weekend on the road despite some key injuries, none more important than those to their quarterbacks. Both starter Kedon Slovis and backup Nick Patti 

But the Panthers will be in a much better situation this week, as they prepare to host head coach Pat Narduzzi's alma mater, Rhode Island. Narduzzi, in an appearance on The Jim Rome Show, said that Slovis is fully healthy.

"Slovis is ready to go," Narduzzi said. "He could have gone last week. It was just too soon for me. I just wanted to make sure he was healthy. What I didn't want him to do ... is come back so soon that it got picked up again."

Narduzzi said that Slovis was cleared by team doctors and trainers from his injury - reportedly a concussion, but Narduzzi had not confirmed that - last Tuesday. He added that Slovis could have played this past weekend against Western Michigan but did not say definitively whether Slovis would play this week.
