Missouri’s trip to Tennessee just got a little tougher than previously thought.
During a Monday news conference, Tigers coach Barry Odom revealed quarterback Drew Lock isn’t fully healthy heading into Saturday’s game. However, the sophomore is slated to play as of now.
Odom: Drew Lock is not 100 percent but there's no concern he won't play at Tennessee

Lock has thrown for 2,811 yards this season, which ranks first among SEC quarterbacks and 16th nationally. He has completed 54.8 percent of his passes for 21 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Behind Lock, Missouri has the No. 24 passing offense in FBS. He could be a test for the Volunteers, who give up just 200 yards through the air per game.
Tennessee (7-3, 3-3) hosts Missouri (3-7, 1-5) at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday in a game they need to win to stay alive in the SEC East race.
