Missouri Tigers head coach Dennis Gates will be without four players for the team's season opener after two additional players were ruled out, bringing the total number of unavailable players to four.
The absences come ahead of the Tigers' first regular-season game, following an exhibition match against the Kansas State Wildcats at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kansas, on October 23, 2026.
The program has not disclosed the identities of the sidelined players or the nature of their injuries, and no timetable for their return has been announced.
