The spring session hasn’t gotten off to the best start for the Missouri Tigers.
On Tuesday, it was reported that three players — DE Franklin Agbasimere, G Kevin Pendleton and C Samson Bailey — missed practice with varying degrees of injury:

Agbasimere will miss the rest of the spring session, but Pendleton and Bailey should both be back after some rest.
Pendleton, who will be a redshirt junior in 2017, started all 12 games last season and Bailey, also a rising redshirt junior, started nine games at center.
Abgasimere, a redshirt sophomore, was expected to compete for playing time along the defensive line this year after making just one tackle last season.
Barring further injuries, all three players should at least be ready to go for the summer.
