Beau Pribula participates in warmups for Mizzou ahead of Week 12

Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula hasn’t played since Oct. 25, when he was carted off the field in the Tigers’ 17-10 loss at then-No. 10 Vanderbilt.
But Saturday, with Mizzou set to take on Mississippi State (7:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network), Pribula was spotted warming up on Faurot Field after spending the week listed as “doubtful” to play against the Bulldogs.
Pribula left the field with an air cast on his left leg after a 4th-and-goal play against the Commodores, an injury that Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz said would keep the senior out for “a while.”
“Beau has no broken bones, but he did have an ankle injury that had to be popped back in place,” Drinkwitz said after the Vanderbilt loss. “So, don’t have a timetable for his return, but it could be a while.”
Missouri struggled without Pribula in its subsequent game against Texas A&M, losing to the then-No. 3 Aggies 38-17 for a 3rd loss in 4 games following a 5-0 start to the season. Freshman Matt Zollers took over after Pribula’s injury, finishing 14-of-23 for 138 yards and a touchdown against Vanderbilt but going only 7-for-22 for 77 yards against the Aggies.
Pribula was the second Missouri quarterback to suffer a potential season-ending injury this season, as Sam Horn fractured the tibia in his right leg on the Mizzou’s first snap from scrimmage during a 61-6 victory against Central Arkansas on Aug. 28.
