Pitt OL projected starter Jaryd Jones-Smith to miss 2015 season

Coming into the 2015 season, one of the strengths often listed for Pitt is its talented offensive line. That strength took a bit of a hit on Monday when sophomore right tackle Jaryd Jones-Smith injured his knee during a conditioning work out as first reported by Chris Peak of Pantherlair

"We are incredibly disappointed for Jaryd," Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said. "Our entire team will rally behind him as he works to overcome this challenge. Jaryd is a great young man and a tough competitor. Even though he is sidelined this year, he is going to remain an important member of our team this fall.
