The Missouri Tigers picked up a huge win on Saturday afternoon, trouncing the Florida Gators 38-17 in The Swamp.
However, that win came with a price, as star TE Albert Okwuegbunam and key freshman RB Tyler Badie were both banged up against the Gators.
On Monday, coach Barry Odom joined former Mizzou WR T.J. Moe’s radio show and said both players will be limited early this week:
On TJ Moe's radio show on @590TheFan, Barry Odom says TE Albert Okwuegbunam (shoulder) will be "very limited" early in the week in practice. RB Tyler Badie (foot) will be limited some Tuesday but expected to be available for Vandy game

It is encouraging for the Tigers that Odom said both are expected to be available for Saturday’s home game against Vanderbilt. At 5-4, the Tigers can clinch a bowl berth with a win over the struggling Commodores.
Considering Albert O has 43 catches for 466 yards and six touchdowns this year, his presence would be a huge boost for the Missouri offense.
