An inconclusive COVID-19 test that came back negative will allow five Missouri football players previously believed to be out to participate in Saturday's game against Alabama.
Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz told reporters on Tuesday that instead of the 12 players he previously said would be sidelined, that number was now seven. Drinkwitz said that not all of the seven players who are out are positive for the coronavirus.
Many teams in the SEC and nationally have not revealed their testing results. Drinkwitz said he is choosing to do so for the sake of transparency.
