COLUMBIA, Mo. — The rotation keeps on rotating.
Down one player after edge rusher Darris Smith’s season-ending injury earlier in the week, Missouri’s group of defensive ends was one fewer in number during Friday’s practice but still conducting business as usual.
Zion Young and Johnny Walker Jr. remain the projected starters at the end positions. Joe Moore III remains solidly in the mix as a regular sub. Jahkai Lang has impressed enough during preseason camp that he could be in line for some snaps. But the edge rusher who could see the biggest increase in role because of Smith’s absence is Eddie Kelly Jr.
