- Missouri will also be without Ahmad Hardy, Malae Fonoti, Gavin Hoffman, JaDon Blair, and Josh Atkins, while Mississippi State ruled out defensive tackles Trevion Williams and Diesel Moye for the season.
- Head coach Eli Drinkwitz noted the team faces defensive challenges; final availability reports are due approximately 90 minutes before kickoff, though Mississippi State upgraded linebacker Zakari Tillman off the injury report.
