A former Pitt Panthers player will wait for a while until he starts off with his new team in the NFL. The Minnesota Vikings announced that they placed former Pitt tight end Gavin Bartholomew on the Active/PUP (physically unable to perform) list. Bartholomew won’t play, but he will participate in meetings and rehab and counts as a member of the 90-man training camp roster. Bartholomew became the first Panthers tight end that earned a draft selection since 2010, when the San Francisco 49ers took Nate Byham in the sixth round and the Houston Texans selected Dorin Dickerson in the seventh round.
