Alabama issues final availability report for Missouri game
Alabama football issued its final availability report 90 minutes before its game against Missouri.
Linebacker Cayden Jones and defensive back Keon Sabb were ruled out earlier this week. Defensive back Red Morgan, who has been listed as probable all week, is a game time decision.
Missouri starting quarterback Brady Cook was listed as doubtful earlier in the week, but has since been upgraded to a game time decision ahead of the game.
“I would just say he didn’t practice much any this week, but he’s determined to give himself an opportunity to play and he’s earned that right from us,” Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz said of Cook. “And so we’ll see what he can do in pregame, and if he gives us the best chance to win, then we’ll put him out there. If he can’t protect himself, I’m not gonna put him in jeopardy. So we truly will find out in pregame. I never question Brady’s heart or commitment to our team, and if there’s any way to give it a go, I think he will. But we’ll see.”
No. 15 Alabama will kick off against No. 21 Missouri at 2:45 p.m. on ABC.

SEC Availability Report Policies
Beginning with the 2024-25 athletics season, all Southeastern Conference schools will provide public reports on the availability of student-athletes to participate in each conference game in the sports of football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball.
In football, prior to a Saturday football game, an institution must issue the Initial Report on Wednesday by 7 p.m. CT and update the Availability Report once per day on Thursday and Friday (after the conclusion of practice and before 7 p.m.). These updated reports will be referred to as the “Thursday Update” and “Friday Update.”
On game day, an institution must provide one Game Day Update no later than 90 minutes before game time. On the Game Day Update, the only permissible designation statuses are:
• Available – Will dress for the game and be available to play
• Game Time Decision – Coaches and/or medical personnel need to evaluate the athlete in pre-game warmups before deciding whether he can participate in the game
• Out – Not dressing or available for the game
