Mizzou Reveals New Timeline for Injured Quarterback Beau Pribula
Missouri's quarterback situation remains in flux as Beau Pribula's injury outlook improves and tight end Brett Norfleet also lands on the injury list ahead of a critical SEC matchup.

What looked like a devastating blow to Missouri’s season might not be quite as final as it first appeared. Quarterback Beau Pribula, who went down with what was feared to be a season-ending ankle injury in Saturday’s loss to Vanderbilt, may still have a shot at returning before the regular season wraps up.

Initial testing revealed a significant ankle sprain and ligament damage, but the good news is that Pribula won’t need surgery. That’s a big win in itself.

According to multiple sources, including one close to the family, he suffered a non-fracture ankle dislocation-an injury that’s rare and typically requires a lengthy recovery. While the average rehab timeline for this kind of injury is around six weeks, Missouri’s final regular-season game is just 34 days away.

So yes, it’s a long shot-but not out of the question.

Pribula was injured early in the third quarter during a fourth-down run at the Vanderbilt 2-yard line. It was a gritty play, the kind of effort you expect from a starting quarterback trying to will his team into the end zone.

Good news health wise for Beau. Good news long term for Mizzou (IMHO) because it gives Matt Zollers a baptism by fire to see what he can do going forward. I expect to see the same battle for the starting QB position in 2026 that we did this year. I just hope the outcome is determined by talent this time and not injury.

Wish Pribula all the best in his future endeavors, but I don't want him back behind Center for the Tigers.

We've seen what he is, and it's plain that Penn State was right: Pribula is a good back-up/Wildcat QB, but he just isn't a quality SEC QB.

Our focus for the rest of the season should be Zoellers. See what we have there and move forward. Maybe this year, Drink can get a top-notch transfer to come to Mizzou or Zoellers will be that.
