Injury Comes as Beckner Starts to Hit Stride

Saturday, Nov. 14

Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch passed along a photo of the injury:

The freshman got off to a slow start earlier in the season but then came on strong, recording a sack in three of his last four games prior to the injury.

Beckner's absence is a blow to the Missouri defense, which has allowed the fewest points among SEC teams this year but was exposed in Week 10 during a 31-13 loss to the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Beckner was one of four Missouri players involved in a Sept. 17 car accident. He was treated and released at the scene, though, and recorded two solo tackles in a 9-6 victory against the Connecticut Huskies two days later.
