Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi says no decision made on WR Tyler Boyd

Pittsburgh Panthers head coach Pat Narduzzi told reporters that no decision has been made regarding the future of suspended wide receiver Tyler Boyd. ESPN’s Andrea Adelson reported the story.

Narduzzi revealed that Boyd was suspended for “about a month” after being arrested for DUI in June. With the season just around the corner, one would think that given how important a player is in the Panthers’ offense, a decision would have been made by now.

In two years with Pitt, Boyd has 163 receptions for 2,435 yards and 15 touchdowns. Boyd also has 171 rush yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, plus a total of 1,098 return yards and a touchdown.

But it should also be noted that this is Pitt’s first season under Narduzzi who, prior to accepting the job, was Michigan State’s defensive coordinator for years. Even though Boyd’s suspension time could soon be drawing to a close, perhaps Narduzzi is just a man who takes decisions like this slowly. There has been zero indication that Boyd will miss any further time, but a wait-and-see approach is definitely in effect at this point.
