MOBILE, Ala. — Pitt linebacker SirVocea Dennis got a full practice week of work in at the Senior Bowl this week, but a foot injury suffered late in the week held him out of Saturday’s game.
Dennis was injured late in Thursday’s practice session. He returned to the field and finished the day, but was held out of Saturday’s game.
The National Team beat Dennis’ American Team, 27-10.
Dennis declared for the draft in December, forgoing his final season of eligibility at Pitt. He also chose to skip the Panthers’ appearance in the Sun Bowl.
Earlier this week, Dennis officially measured in at 6-foot 3/8, 218 pounds with a 33-inch armspan, 78-inch wingspan and 10 1/2-inch hands.
He had an interception returned for a touchdown in Tuesday’s practice, but in general had an up-and-down week in pass coverage. He was solid against the run.
Dennis had been the only Pitt player scheduled to play in the game. He was the 13th Pitt player over the last seven seasons to accept an invite to the top college football All-Star Game.
