The Missouri Tigers have been hit hard by COVID-19 and contact tracing protocols this year so far, and that will continue on Saturday.
When the Tigers host LSU, their receiving corps will be severely limited, according to a report by Yahoo’s Pete Thamel.
Per Thamel, the Tigers’ leading receiver, Damon Hazelton, will miss the game, as will Keke Chism and Dominic Gicinto:
Source: Missouri will be without two starting WRs against LSU today and three of its top five WRs. Leading WR Damon Hazelton, starter Keke Chism and reserve Dominic Gicinto are out due to COVID-19/contact tracing. Among the seven total players out for Missouri are 2 reserve DBs.

Hazelton and Jalen Knox each have 9 catches for 100 yards this season. Knox wasn’t mentioned among the players being out, so he’ll have to pick up a bigger load of the pass-catching duties against LSU.
How will the Tigers look with this hampered receiving corps? The game kicks off at noon Eastern time on the SEC Network alternate channel.
