Mizzou will be without key offensive weapon vs. Vanderbilt
Last week, during a big win at Florida, Mizzou TE Albert Okwuegbunam left the game after taking a big hit to his shoulder.
He was limited in practice all week, but now it appears his status has been made clear for Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt.
According to coach Barry Odom, Okwuegbunam — one of the Tigers’ top offensive weapons — will be out against the Commodores:
Missouri TE Albert Okwuegbunam will miss today's game against Vanderbilt due to injury, coach Barry Odom announced @SECNetwork. Big loss for #Mizzou.

Okwuegbunam has a team-high 43 catches and six touchdowns, with those 43 receptions going for 466 yards.
He’ll definitely be missed against the Commodores, but at least the Tigers have WR Emanuel Hall back after he worked his way back into the mix vs. Florida last weekend.
