Mizzou to be without star RB Damarea Crockett for Idaho game
The Missouri Tigers shouldn’t have too much trouble getting past Idaho at home on Saturday, but they’ll have to do so without a star player.
According to two Mizzou reporters, star RB Damarea Crockett is not in uniform and will not play in Saturday’s homecoming game.
Crockett has been dealing with a shoulder injury that has hampered his production in recent weeks, so he’ll get an extra week of rest against the Vandals:

Crockett has run for 481 yards and two touchdowns on 80 carries and has added four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in the passing game.
In Crockett’s absence, Ish Witter and Larry Rountree III will get a lot more work as they try to lead the Mizzou rushing attack.
