PITTSBURGH -- On just one drive, the Pitt Panthers lost two defensive linemen. Tyler Bentley and Devin Danielson, both listed as second-teamers on the depth chart, had to be helped off the field with what looked like ankle injuries late in the first quarter of Pitt's Week 2 matchup with the Tennessee Volunteers. 

Their status for the rest of the game is unknown. 

The Panthers are now down to just three interior defensive linemen on their depth chart - Calijah Kancey, Deandre Jules and David Green. They could reach further into the bench and use Bam Brima or Sean FitzSimmons, but those will likely be emergency options only.
