TALLAHASSEE, Fl. - As Pitt prepared for its 4 p.m. Saturday matchup with Florida State at Doak Campbell Stadium, the team released its travel roster for the game.
That roster had Kenny Pickett listed on it, and the team captain did practice with the first team offense in warmups before the game. That means Pickett will make his first start with the team since he injured his ankle against Boston College back in October:
Here’s #Pitt’s travel roster for Florida State. Kenny Pickett traveled with the team and is going to start today. However CB Jason Pinnock did not travel. Team spokesperson says his not playing today has been designated a team matter with no further comment. #H2P #DKPS pic.twitter.com/NM6OGsQV9y

Three key Pitt players not listed on Saturday's travel roster were receiver Taysor Mack, running back Todd Sibley, and cornerback Jason Pinnock.
A statement from a team spokesperson indicated that Pinnock didn't travel "due to a team matter," but offered no further comment.
No comment was offered on Mack or Sibley, which has been the traditional practice for when players have been too injured to play as a reason for them to not travel. Sibley also didn't dress against Notre Dame two weeks ago due to an injury.
