The Florida State Seminoles are less than 48 hours away from their final road game of the 2026 season. After snapping their losing streak away from home last weekend, Florida State could begin a new road winning streak on Friday night.
The Panthers have been bogged down by injuries, particularly at quarterback. Since star Mason Heintschel went down a few weeks ago, Pittsburgh is only 1-3, with the lone win coming against Georgia Tech. The program fell on the road to Boston College during that stretch.
Florida State has actually won its last two trips to Pittsburgh, including a 24-7 victory in 2023 when the Seminoles played without Johnny Wilson and Keon Coleman.
The team will be shorthanded in this chapter as well. Florida State is down to its fourth-string running back, missing multiple defensive linemen, and has lost star wide receiver Duce Robinson.
With the contest approaching swiftly, there are a few other injuries that the Seminoles are monitoring.
Florida State and Pittsburgh released their initial availability reports on Tuesday night. At that time, the two teams ruled out a combined 19 players.
On Thursday, the Seminoles and Panthers provided their second availability report.
Florida State made a few changes on Wednesday. The Seminoles downgraded defensive lineman Deante McCray and defensive back Jamari Howard from questionable to out. McCray will miss his second straight game after being injured against Clemson.
The Seminoles did upgrade linebacker Caleb LaVallee and kicker Conor McAneney to probable.
