Tre Tipton to miss entire 2017 football season

Pitt football was dealt some bad news on Monday with the announcement that wide receiver Tre Tipton would miss the entire 2017 season with a knee injury.

The injury is classified as a non-football injury with nothing more than that being disclosed.

Definitely a bummer and Tipton had showed some promise last season (12 catches for 142 yards and a touchdown). He had modest production but also missed about 1/3 of the season with injuries. Tipton had a nice seven-game stretch where he recorded at least one catch in every contest.

A little later, I'll break down what this means for the team.
