Jacquies Smith was on the preseason watch list for the Lombardi Award and earned Second Team All-American honors as well, but the Missouri defensive lineman might not be able to live up to those accolades this season. Smith, one of the top returning defensive ends in the Big 12, went to the locker room with an apparent arm injury.
Jacquies Smith Injury: Mizzou Lineman Went To Locker Room After Hurting Arm
Smith limped to the sideline in pain during Mizzou’s game against Miami of Ohio on Saturday afternoon while holding his left arm and shortly thereafter, following a Miami touchdown, the Tigers star defensive lineman was escorted to the locker room by Missouri’s trainers. It seems to either be an elbow or a wrist injury, but it’s currently too early to tell.
Mizzou is currently ahead 10-6 on the scoreboard, but with Smith and linebacker Will Ebner both seemingly out for the rest of the game due to injury, it might be difficult for the Tigers to hold onto their lead -- and No. 21 ranking.
