Missouri Tigers offensive lineman Cayden Green returns to practice for Kansas game

Summary

The Missouri Tigers are preparing for the 113th installment of the Border War against the Kansas Jayhawks this Friday at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Ahead of the matchup, star left tackle Cayden Green returned to practice on Monday after missing the season opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Green, a first-team All-SEC selection in 2025, was sidelined during the initial week with an undisclosed injury. His return to practice signals he is on track to play Friday, provided no setbacks occur before kickoff. Redshirt freshman Jack Lange handled left tackle duties in his absence. Missouri enters the game with a 1-0 record, looking to build on their 42-31 victory over Kansas in last year's meeting, which ended a 13-year hiatus in the rivalry series.
