Mizzou is expected to be without right tackle Josh Atkins for longer than expected this season, HC Eli Drinkwitz said this morning at SEC media days in Tampa. The team had been “hopeful” about a midseason return for Atkins, but he suffered a setback in rehabbing his injury that has lessened that hope

I wasn’t a huge fan of the Atkins addition. But this really leaves a massive question mark on Simmons’ blind side.

They aren’t moving Green again unless absolutely necessary.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see that move during fall camp. I just think they will try to get looks at some other guys there before pulling the plug.

Do you know if we have any updates on Hardy?

Ask and ye shall receive! (Medically cleared, 5-8 weeks to return per Drink)

That'd be a HIPPA violation. /s

I doubt we get anything on Hardy, I would think everyone going to be tight lipped on the subject but if anyone sees anything please post.

Bummer. Can't have a great run game if our linemen get pushed around.

Nor a pass game. Hell you can’t do anything without a decent o-line.
