Brady Cook's injury status change and Alabama football availability report ahead of Missouri

There were no changes in Alabama's football availability report Friday night, but there was a notable injury update for Missouri quarterback Brady Cook.

Cook, the starting quarterback, was upgraded from doubtful to questionable on Friday night's official availability report. ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that Cook will “look to step up and play.”

Cook had to leave last weekend's game against Auburn due to an ankle injury before eventually returning to the game and defeating the Tigers at Faurot Field. If Cook can't go, Missouri would turn to Drew Pyne, a former Notre Dame and Arizona State quarterback.

Meanwhile, Missouri's starting running back Nate Noel will officially be out for the game.

On the Alabama side, the Crimson Tide listed starter Keon Sabb as out, as they did earlier in the week. According to Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer, he will be “out for a while.” Bray Hubbard is expected to take his place. Red Morgan is likely still in the game after suffering an injury during the Tennessee game; He rotates with DeVonta Smith at the Husky spot.

No. 15 Alabama faces No. 21 Missouri on Saturday (2:45 p.m. CT, ABC) at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
