The No. 7 Missouri Tigers issued their first official availability report of the season Wednesday afternoon. It details injury designations ahead of Missouri's week 4 matchup against Vanderbilt.

Here's the availability report for Missouri, which was the same both Wednesday and Thursday night.

Missouri Thursday availability report:

S Joseph Charleston	Questionable
DE Darris Smith (Knee)	Out for season
QB Sam Horn (Arm)	Out for season

Charleston exited the week 3 game against Boston College and did not return. Tre'Vez Johnson took his place in the game against Boston College and in practice Tuesday. Both Smith and Horn were known to have season-ending injuries before the season started.

Missouri appears to be much more healthy entering Week 4 than they were entering Week 3. Receivers Luther Burden III (illness) and Theo Wease Jr. (shoulder) are apparently fully recovered.

Vanderbilt Thursday availability report:

DL Khordae Sydnor	Questionable
TE Brycen Coleman	Probable
STAR Maurice Hampton	Probable
TE Cole Spence	Questionable
TE Eli Stowers	Probable
S CJ Taylor	Out (1st half)
OL Grayson Morgan	Out
EDGE Boubacar Diakite	Out
CB Mark Davis	Out
DL Zaylin Wood	Out

Vanderbilt made a few changes Thursday night, promoting tight ends Eli Stowers and Brycen Coleman, along with STAR Maurice Hampton from questionable to probable.

CJ Taylor will be suspended for the first half of play due to a targeting injury he was called for in Vanderbilt's 36-32 loss to Georgia State in Week 3.

Defensive lineman Zaylin Wood exited Vanderbilt's week 2 game with injury and will officially not play against Missouri.

Additional availability reports will be posted Thursday and Friday before a final report posted 90 minutes before kickoff. Teams can place four different designations on injured players — probable, questionable, doubtful or out. With sports betting becoming an increasingly growing avenue for profit for sports leagues, the mandated reports bring gamblers more clarity.

The Missouri Tigers will open SEC play Saturday by hosting Vanderbilt for Week 4 at 3:15 p.m.
