Missouri's football quarterback leaves the game

Missouri football quarterback Brady Cook returned to Mizzou's game against Auburn late in the third quarter after spending time in the locker room and on the sidelines because of a leg injury he suffered on the game's first drive.

Cook warmed up on the sideline at the start of the quarter. Backup MU QB Drew Pyne just completed a third quarter drive that ended in a field goal.

Cook threw balls down the MU sideline after emerging from the south end zone tunnel with his helmet on.

According to a team spokesman, Cook was deemed “unlikely to return” at halftime.

Drew Pyne led the offense on every Missouri drive in the second quarter and looks like he will close out the game for Mizzou. Running back Nate Noel also likely won't return for Missouri, according to a team spokesman.
