PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh sophomore defensive back Titus Howard has been suspended for the 2014 season by coach Paul Chryst.

Chryst cited disciplinary reasons when handing out the suspension Friday.

Howard played in 11 games as a freshman last year, finishing with 21 tackles and two pass breakups. Chryst said Howard, who is from Clairton, Pennsylvania, will remain with the program and can participate in practice.
