It appears as if Missouri may indeed have one of its stars against Auburn.
Junior wide receiver Luther Burden III was listed probable on Wednesday‘s Southeastern Conference availability report. There were questions regarding Burden‘s health going into the week after he left Missouri’s win over UMass early with an injury.
Burden is Missouri’s second-leading receiver on the season with 31 receptions for 398 yards and four touchdowns in six games. He came into the 2024 season as one of the top receivers in the country, being named an AP Preseason All-American.
During the 2023 season, Burden caught 86 passes for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns. He did not play in Missouri’s game against Auburn in 2022.
