So far during training camp, Mizzou TE Albert Okwuegbunam has been limited by injuries. He missed Saturday’s scrimmage as he dealt with a sprained knee.
On Monday, STLToday.com’s Dave Matter reported that Albert O was held out once again from practice.
However, per the report, coach Barry Odom isn’t too concerned about his availability as Week 1 approaches:
“He’s got a number of things but not anything real serious,” Odom said. “So maybe (we’ll) get him back out here a little bit tomorrow, I hope, in a limited role.”
“So the challenge for him, because he’s got a lot of physical reps up to this point in his career, but every snap, he’s got to get a mental rep. He’ll get back.”
Okwuegbunam was sidelined with a shoulder injury for a few games last season, so this injury is still a bit concerning.
If he’s healthy, though, he’s the Tigers’ top tight end and one of the best at the position in the entire country.
