The Missouri Tigers (7-2) will travel to Columbia, South Carolina, for a matchup against the Gamecocks (6-3) on Saturday afternoon.
One of the biggest question marks coming into the game for Mizzou is the status of senior quarterback Brady Cook, who's been dealing with a hand injury for weeks.
Cook suffered the injury against Alabama, ultimately taking him out of the game after just five possessions. Mizzou had the luxury of a bye week following the game, but it wasn't enough time for Cook to recover as he was forced to miss the Oklahoma contest last week.
The most interesting aspect of his injury has been the SEC mandated injury report. All week leading up to the Oklahoma game, Cook was listed as questionable, but he wound up not being able to play.
This week, however, Cook was listed as doubtful until a report from ESPN's Pete Thamel broke that he's a true game-time decision.
Sources: Missouri quarterback Brady Cook is expected to be a true game-time decision at South Carolina today, as he’s expected to attempt to play. He’s going to warm-up and see how he feels, as he’s battling an injured wrist. He’d been considered doubtful on the injury report. pic.twitter.com/a4cellHVdy

Last time Cook was a game-time decision he ended up playing against Alabama.
Nobody can question his toughness and if there's any chance for him to play, he'll be out there.
