Head trainer Rex Sharp announced the news on Friday in a statement.
Bauer is the second Tigers player this offseason to step away from the game because of a hip injury. Junior running back Morgan Steward was the other player.
Bauer was a four-star recruit and Mizzou’s top-rated signee in 2014. He redshirted as a true freshman, then missed all of 2015 with the injury.
