PITTSBURGH—Pitt junior defensive lineman Ejuan Price will undergo season-ending surgery today on a torn left pectoralis muscle, Coach Paul Chryst announced.
Price (Rankin, Pa./Woodland Hills) sustained the injury this week during a workout.
“We are incredibly disappointed for Ejuan,” Chryst said. “We will do everything we can to help him stay encouraged and focused through this challenge.”
As a sophomore in 2013, Price was enjoying a productive campaign until he suffered a season-ending back injury in the Oct. 19 Old Dominion game. He played in six contests at defensive end (starting four) and totaled 23 tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack and one pass breakup. Price had a career-high eight tackles at Virginia Tech and posted four tackles with two TFLs against Virginia.
The Panthers open training camp on August 4.
