From the “could be nothing, could be something” department, Missouri quarterback Kelly Bryant and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam left the Tigers’ practice Monday due to injury. Bryant is dealing with a strained hamstring, while Okwuegbunam was knocked out of practice thanks to a sprained right knee.
As of now, both ailments appear to be that of the standard training camp bumps and bruises variety.
“Fortunately, it looks like they’re going to be back and be ready to go,” Missouri head coach Barry Odom told Power Mizzou. “But you never know.”
Bryant went down on a non-contact play during the team’s 11-on-11 portion of practice. Sophomore Taylor Powell replaced him behind center.
Bryant, obviously, is set to be the Tigers’ starting quarterback after transferring in from Clemson. Okwuegbunam caught 43 passes for 466 yards and six touchdowns in nine games a year ago.
Both players left the field under their own power and were taken off the field via a cart, largely as a precaution.
