Luther Burden injury update: Latest on Missouri star's status vs. Auburn revealed on Thursday injury report
Auburn vs. Missouri, a game that both Tiger teams need this weekend, has its second injury report from in the SEC. One of the most notable names, though, came off as Luther Burden appears ready to go.
11 players were designated on the initial report, including eight already being out, from Wednesday. Burden was on the initial list, but is no longer on the availability report as of Thursday night.
Auburn had four players on the list with each of them being out. That group included Jamonta Waller, Tyler Scott, Champ Anthony, and Brandon Frazier.
Mizzou then had most of the players on the report with seven. Four of those are already out with the most notable being Khalil Jacobs. Three more were then either questionable or probable, including their leading rusher in Nate Noel and their top receiver in Luther Burden III.

Auburn is in need of this one considering they’re already at 2-4 overall, including at 0-3 in the SEC. They have yet to beat a power opponent with their only wins being over Alabama A&M and New Mexico and their four losses, three of which were at home, being to California and then now a losing skid to open conference play in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Georgia. If it’s not already, bowl-eligibility would be in major jeopardy without a win in one of their two games left in October.
Missouri also could use this victory in order to legitimize itself again in the Southeastern Conference. Despite still being in the Top-25, Mizzou has had issue in their three games against actual opponents, including a double-overtime win over Vanderbilt and then a 31-point blowout loss to Texas A&M. Ahead of a trip to Tuscaloosa, a win over Auburn to at least be at 6-1 when they play the Crimson Tide would be important for the Tigers.
