Many injury questions remain as the No. 21 kick-off against the No. 15 Alabama Crimson Tide. 

The largest comes at the hands of Tiger quarterback Brady Cook. After suffering a non-contact high-ankle injury against the Auburn Tigers last week and furthering it after getting tackled shortly after, Cook exited the game. He made a heroic return later on to lead Missouri to victory. 

The status of Cook's injury has been unknown all week. Media was not allowed at practices and the only reports have come from social media and daily injury reports from the SEC.
