Nate Noel Injury Update: Missouri RB's status has been updated in Friday's injury report against Auburn

Ahead of the All-Tiger matchup tomorrow in CoMo, Auburn vs. Missouri has released its final injury report. Nate Noel is the most notable change for Mizzou, which moves up to likely.

In the updates from Wednesday to Thursday, almost all of the names remained the same for the two teams. However, Noel wasn't the only change for Missouri from Thursday's availability report. Triston Newson fell out of the report and Marquis Johnson seemed questionable.

Auburn had exactly four names listed as out. Jamonta Waller, Tyler Scott, Champ Anthony and Brandon Frazier will all be unavailable in their first game after the bye.

However, there have been some significant updates at Mizzou. While four players are still out, Luther Burden, their top receiver and one of the best players in the country, opted out of the designation entirely despite originally being a likely option. Triston Newton also saw an improvement from doubtful to probable. That shifts the focus to Nate Noel, their leading rusher, as he remained questionable for the game.

Here is the final Auburn-Missouri injury report release prior to tomorrow's kickoff:

Friday's injury report for Auburn vs. Missouri

Auburn:

Missouri:

Auburn needs this game considering they are already 2-4 overall, including 0-3 in the SEC. They haven't beaten any strong opponents yet, their only wins have been away Alabama A&M And New Mexico and their four defeats, three of which were at home California and now there is a defeat in the opening of the conference Arkansas, OklahomaAnd Georgia. If it isn't already, its bowl eligibility would be in grave jeopardy if it didn't win one of its two remaining games in October.

Missouri could also use this win to regain legitimacy in the Southeastern Conference. Although still ranked in the top 25, Mizzou has struggled in its three games against real opponents, including a double-overtime win Vanderbilt and then a 31-point loss against Texas A&M. Before a trip to Tuscaloosa, a win over Auburn would be important for the Tigers to be at least 6-1 heading into the game against the Crimson Tide.
