Temple, Ricks injury updates

Drew Schmenner of the Columbia Missourian reports that tailback Tony Temple (above, in a Missourian photo) is listed as day-to-day with a bone bruise. He'll sit out Wednesday for sure, but the injury was not as bad as originally feared. Link.

The Trib's Dave Matter posted an update on his blog on the Temple and Ricks injuries last night:

There’s good news and bad news on the injury front.

First, the good: Tailback Tony Temple only suffered a bruised knee, according to his MRI results, MU spokesman Chad Moller alerted the media just a few minutes ago. Temple will definitely miss tomorrow’s 7:15 a.m. practice but is considered day-to-day from there.

Now, the bad: Moller also confirmed that an MRI of cornerback Hardy Ricks’ left shoulder revealed it was dislocated. It’s not known how long he’ll be unavailable. He will begin rehabbing as soon as possible.
