Let's take a look at both programs' injury reports ahead of Saturday's matchup.

Auburn Tigers Football injury report

Auburn will be without some players for the Missouri game. Here's a look at two of the most crucial absences:

Jamonta Waller's injury update

According to Auburn Wire, defensive lineman Jamonta Waller will miss the rest of the 2024 season with a foot injury. Waller has played just two games for the Tigers this season.

The team must find a way to replace the 6-foot, 243-pound buck linebacker for the rest of the year. Philip Blidi, Keldric Faulk, and Isaiah Raikes will be tasked with filling the void currently left by Waller's injury.

Tyler Scott's injury update

According to the Montgomery Advertiser, star Auburn cornerback Tyler Scott will miss the remainder of the 2024 season. Scott hurt his ACL during preseason workouts.

Due to his injury, Auburn is expected to look to second-year player JC Hart, Alabama transfer Antonio Kite, and true freshmen A'Mon Lane-Ganus and Jay Crawford for more playing time.

Other Auburn players on the report are:

• DB Champ Anthony – Out
• TE Brandon Frazier – Out

Missouri Tigers Football injury report

Missouri will be without some players ahead of the Auburn game. Here's a look at two of the most notable absences:

Darris Smith's injury update

According to ESPN, Missouri Tigers star defensive end Darris Smith will miss the 2024 season after hurting his knee in practice. Smith is fresh off a transfer from collegiate football powerhouse the Georgia Bulldogs and was brought to shore up the Tiger's defense.

However, he must now undergo extensive rehab to return for the 2025 CFB season potentially. Eddie Kelly and Joe Moore III will fill the Smith-sized hole in the Tigers' defensive lineup.
