Missouri quarterback Kelly Bryant will reportedly not play tonight against Georgia in Sanford Stadium.
Six Column Sports was the first to report the news that Bryant’s hamstring injury would keep him out. The school has yet to confirm the report, though.
Bryant was unable to finish the game vs Kentucky two weeks ago after he hurt his hamstring in the first half. The Tigers have since had a bye week to prepare for Georgia and allow injured players some extra time to heal up, but Odom suggested that Bryant still may be in too much pain to suit up on Saturday vs the bulldogs.
Missouri’s offensive line has been struggling over the team’s two game losing streak, which includes losses to Vanderbilt and Kentucky, forcing Bryant to leave the pocket a lot more and take off running. If Bryant does end up playing and his hamstring is a factor, that could result in more sacks for the Georgia defense.
This season, Bryant is the team’s fourth leading rusher with 205 yards on 81 carries.
If Bryant is not able to play, that means backup quarterback Taylor Powell would get the nod. Against Kentucky, Powell was less-than-impressive, throwing for 34 yards on 4/10 passing in the 29-7 loss.
