  "account": "Missouri football submitted its first injury and availability report on Wednesday, detailing the status of 16 players ahead of their Saturday matchup against Texas A&M in Columbia. Four players are listed as probable: Brett Norfleet (tight end), Jahlil Florence (cornerback), Jaden Jones (defensive end) and Bobby Washington (linebacker). Seven others are marked as questionable, including Cayden Green (left tackle), Langden Kitchen and Darris Smith (defensive ends), Robert Woodyard Jr. (linebacker), Santana Banner and Kensley Louidor-Faustin (safeties) and DaMarion Fowlkes (return specialist/wide receiver). Five players are already expected to miss the game: Ahmad Hardy (running back), Malae Fonoti (running back), Gavin Hoffman (tight end), JaDon Blair (safety) and Josh Atkins (right tackle). Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz noted that the team was \"beat up\" after their previous matchup against Florida, describing it as a \"physical SEC game.\" The SEC mandates daily injury reports from member organizations, with the final report publishing 90 minutes before kickoff. Texas A&M listed three players: Mario Craver (wide receiver) as questionable, while Blake Ivy (offensive lineman) and Terry Bussey (wideout) have been ruled out. Missouri will face Texas A&M at 11 a.m. Saturday at Faurot Field in Columbia, with the game set to air at 11 a.m. Thursday.",
