Football: Romeus out for season

The Panthers’ game against Connecticut last Thursday will likely be the last in defensive end… The Panthers’ game against Connecticut last Thursday will likely be the last in defensive end Greg Romeus’ Pitt career, because he tore the ACL in his right knee during the game.

“It was a non-contact injury rushing the passer,” head coach Dave Wannstedt said in Monday’s news conference. “He stopped, tried to come up under the guy and twisted his knee. It was something that he has done a thousand times.”

The contest was only Romeus’ second game of the season. It was his first since the season opener against Utah, after which back surgery kept him sidelined until last week.

“He will work to get his knee healthy and begin to prepare now for the NFL,” Wannstedt said.

Wannstedt also said that Romeus, who was last year’s Big East co-Defensive Player of the Year, will look for a second opinion as to whether or not surgery is necessary.
