WR Cayden Lee, EDGE Langden Kitchen injury updates for Missouri football

Missouri football will finish the 2026 season without starting defensive end Langden Kitchen due to injury, MU coach Eli Drinkwitz confirmed during his weekly press availability Tuesday, but the Tigers expect SEC-leading wide receiver Cayden Lee to be back in practice after limping off the field in their last game. Kitchen had to be helped off the field during the first quarter of the Tigers’ game against Texas on Saturday, Nov. 7 on Faurot Field. After tackling Longhorns wide receiver Ryan Wingo on a first-down play near midfield, Kitchen sprung up and immediately clutched the back of his left leg and went back down to the field. He went to the locker room and was unable to return to the game. Drinkwitz said the senior defensive end from Huntsville, Missouri , had surgery Tuesday morning and has been ruled out for the remainder of the year. “Do expect him to make a full recovery,” Drinkwitz said. “Look forward to trying to work with him to get him back on our football team for next year.” Kitchen is eligible for a fifth season due to the NCAA’s new age-based eligibility model. If he is able to recover from the injury, he

Missouri basketball forward Mark Mitchell injury update

Fifth-year Missouri basketball forward Mark Mitchell missed most of the Tigers’ game against Southern Illinois Edwardsville after he suffered a head injury injury in the opening minute of the contest. There is currently no available information on whether or not Mitchell will play for the Tigers in their next game, which is Sunday on a neutral court against Marquette in Chicago. "Mark, you know, I think he got cracked pretty good across the across the nose," Mizzou coach Dennis Gates said postgame. "I'm not sure if it was stitches or it was just a nosebleed. I'm not sure, but I trust our trainers, and we'll evaluate him, and we'll have something for you guys later on. But I just don't have that information." The star forward pulled in a rebound on MU’s first defensive possession of the game, but collided with SIUE guard Dahrio McCaskill as he came back down to the court. Mitchell, who was an All-SEC forward and led MU in scoring in each of the past two seasons, immediately fell to the court holding his face. Team trainers brought towels, and Mitchell appeared to be holding the towels to his nose. He went to the locker room

Updated Missouri football bowl game projections after Texas loss

The College Football Playoff is now almost certainly off the table for the Tigers. While a three-loss team could very well make it into the 12-team field next month, it’s unlikely to be Missouri football after its 34-20 loss to Texas on Saturday in Columbia. The Tigers were already at the bottom of a large two-loss bunch out of the SEC in the CFP’s initial top 25 rankings, and another defeat is not going to help the Tigers’ cause. The Tigers next head to No. 1 Georgia on Nov. 14 in Athens, and then Eli Drinkwitz’s team closes the regular season out on home turf with back-to-back games in Columbia against Kentucky and Oklahoma.

Study Hall: Mizzou 96, SIUE 58

They say not to look a gift horse in the mouth. So I’m going to avoid the mouth portion of this gift horse. Mizzou won a non-conference game against SIUE by 38 points in a game where the projection was 26 points. Being plus 12 in the projected margin is always going to be a good thing. Scoring 1.47 points per possession is a good thing! Jason Crowe, Jr. setting a Mizzou record for most point points scored by a freshman in a game is also a good thing. Holding your opponent to just 0.89 points per possession… all good!

No. 1 Georgia heating up as No. 22 Missouri comes to town

Georgia coach Kirby Smart has long been a fan of the Southeastern Conference championship game. After official word arrived about the game's future cancellation, No. 1 Georgia can take another step toward returning to the event for a sixth straight year when it hosts No. 22 Missouri on Saturday afternoon in Athens, Ga. "I think it's a great, historic game," Smart said of the SEC title contest, which will be played for the last time in December before the College Football Playoff expands to 24 teams in 2027. "It's great for the players, the programs, and the fans. The location has been awesome for us. The venue is incredible. All of those things are awesome, but times are changing. As they change, you have to adapt to it." Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz took a strong position regarding the upcoming schedule change. "My question is why are we associated with conferences anymore if we're not playing for a conference championship?" Drinkwitz said. Under the current system, the Bulldogs sit atop the SEC standings, a relatively common occurrence. After sustaining an upset at the hands of Auburn on Oct. 17, Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) breezed past then-No. 17 Florida 27-8 before dominating

Georgia football opens as significant favorites vs. Missouri

The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs are hosting the unranked Missouri Tigers on Saturday, Nov. 14 in Sanford Stadium at 3:30 p.m. ET. Georgia is hot entering the Missouri game. The Bulldogs have dismantled their last two opponents in the first half. Georgia has not allowed opposing offenses much room to breath since the Bulldogs' bye week. Georgia is coming off a 42-7 road win over the No. 17 Ole Miss Rebels while Missouri suffered a 34-20 home loss to the No. 8 Texas Longhorns in Week 10. Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) is in the driver's seat to make the last SEC championship game while Missouri (6-3, 3-3 SEC) has slim hopes of making the SEC title game, but still would have a viable College Football Playoff argument if the Tigers can win out. Georgia used an efficient aerial attack and a physical ground game to dominate Ole Miss . Georgia's defense stifled Ole Miss with the blitz, but may use a different approach against Missouri. The Bulldogs face a Missouri team with a strong trio of offense stars. Quarterback Austin Simmons, an Ole Miss transfer, has 18 touchdown passes and just two interceptions. He got a bit beat up along
