Available Saturday
Head coach Pat Narduzzi indicated that Hammond will be available for Saturday's game against UNC, per Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
The news comes as a bit of a shock after Hammond was ruled ineligibile for the 2024 season prior to the Panthers' first game, but it appears as if the senior running back will be able to play this season after all. It's unclear what changed in his eligibility, but the pecking order of the Pitt backfield is now heavily in question following his return. Hammond previously ran for 547 yards and four touchdowns for the Panthers in 2023, averaging 4.6 YPC in the process. It will be worth monitoring how involved Hammond will be in the Pitt gameplan after being sidelined for the first four games of the season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Following the departure of Israel Abanikanda to the NFL, Hammond is set to take the reins as Pitt's starting running back in the 2023 season. Hammond has some large shoes to fill following Abanikanda's NCAA leading 20 rushing touchdowns last season. The former three-star running back has tallied 972 yards and 10 touchdowns over his first two seasons with the program, including his impressive Week 10 performance against Syracuse where he rushed for 124 yards on 28 carries and scored a touchdown. The Panthers will have a new signal caller at the helm this season, requiring Hammond's veteran experience to take the next step. Hammond should play the bell-cow role in a run-heavy Pitt offense this upcoming season.
