Friday availability report: Champ Anthony healthy

Auburn football will have one of its key leaders and defensive players suiting up Saturday.

Safety Champ Anthony, who popped up as questionable earlier this week on the SEC’s student athlete availability report, is no longer on the report.

Auburn will be without freshman linebacker Bryce Deas (concussion), sophomore running back Durell Robinson (leg) and senior wide receiver Horatio Fields (foot).

Brandon Frazier upgraded

Brandon Frazier is dealing with lower back issues and a minor ankle injury, although the ankle injury remains the biggest concern according to Freeze.

“I think it’s more the ankle than anything,” Freeze said. “Can he push off and do what you have to do, at tight end, against two big physical defensive ends that we’re playing? Can he, can his ankle really hold up in that?”

Frazier was upgraded Friday from questionable to probable.

The other guys

Missouri will be without three players Saturday — quarterback Sam Horn, kicker Blake Craig and offensive lineman Logan Reichert.

Both Horn and Craig suffered season-ending injuries in Missouri’s season-opener. Meanwhile, Reichert has yet to make a debut for Missouri after suffering an injury in fall camp.

Kickoff is set for 6:45 p.m. CST on the SEC Network.
