No. 23 Missouri Eyes All-American OT Cayden Green’s Return Against Kansas as RB Depth Thins Again

Cayden Green is expected back after missing Week 1, while Missouri says Ahmad Hardy still has not practiced and remains out for the rivalry game.

  • On Friday, starting left tackle Cayden Green is expected to return for Missouri's Border War rivalry game against Kansas in Lawrence after missing last week's 54-14 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff with an undisclosed injury.
  • While Green returns, star running back Ahmad Hardy remains sidelined recovering from a gunshot wound sustained in May at a concert in Laurel, Mississippi; his timeline to return remains unclear per ESPN's Pete Thamel.
  • Coach Eli Drinkwitz established a two-week full-speed practice requirement before Hardy can play, effectively sidelining him through mid-September and likely keeping him out of Missouri's Week 3 game against Troy on September 19.
  • Montana transfer Malae Fonoti was lost to a season-ending non-contact ACL injury during the opener, elevating veteran Jamal Roberts to RB1 and Houston Christian transfer XaiShaun Edwards to RB2 after carrying 13 times for 47 yards and seven times for 45 yards respectively last week.
  • Both Missouri and Kansas enter the Border War undefeated at 1-0, with Friday's 7 p.m. matchup in Lawrence marking their first true road game against each other in 21 years; center Dominick Giudice expressed enthusiasm about Green's return, saying "He's going to do whatever he can for this team to make it back into play.
