Floyd's return could bolster Mizzou's punt-return unit

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Johnathon Johnson will end his Missouri career as one of the more prolific receivers in team history, but his days as a punt returner appear over. He struggled in that role last year and again Saturday, against Mississippi, when regular return specialist Richaud Floyd was out because of a hamstring injury. Floyd could be back Saturday for No. 22 Mizzou (5-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) at Vanderbilt (1-5, 0-3), Tigers coach Barry Odom said Tuesday. If not, walk-on receiver Cade Musser will be the No. 1 option. Floyd “looked better than expected today in practice, said he felt great,” Odom said.
