With Cale Garrett scheduled for surgery this morning, Missouri has adjusted its depth chart at linebacker for Saturday's homecoming game against Ole Miss. Sophomore Cameron Wilkins has moved into Garrett's starting spot at middle linebacker. Garrett suffered a torn pectoral tendon in Saturday's 42-10 win over Troy, an injury that will likely end his season. The two-time SEC defensive player of the week was having an All-American-caliber season, leading the SEC in tackles per game and interceptions.
Wilkins, who played some as a true freshman last year on special teams and some snaps at fullback, was fourth on the team Saturday with 13 tackles, including two for losses, plus a fumble recovery.
