Missouri leading rusher Nate Noel will miss Saturday's game at No. 15 Alabama as he deals with a foot injury, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Noel is not expected to practice this week and will be re-evaluated after No. 21 Missouri's bye week on Nov. 2.
Noel, a transfer from Appalachian State, is the Tigers' most productive tailback. He leads the team with 503 yards and an average of 5.9 yards per carry.
He left last week's game against Auburn in the first half with the foot injury was ruled unlikely to return.
