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
