NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Noel (foot) is off the injury report for Saturday's contest versus Oklahoma.

Impact Noel was listed as probable on Friday's report, so it was expected that he'd be able to give it a go. That's indeed the case, and the senior back will rejoin the mix for carries alongside Marcus Carroll. There could be an added emphasis on the run Saturday with starting quarterback Brady Cook (hand) out.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return vs. Sooners Noel (foot) is expected to return to action this week against Oklahoma, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Noel hasn't played since Week 8, but has only missed one game (Alabama). The starting tailback should resume his role as a workhorse in this offense if he does indeed make his return against the Sooners.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy headed into Week 11 Noel is listed as questionable for Missouri's clash with Oklahoma on Saturday.

Impact The tailback missed the Tigers' last game against Alabama, but had a bye week to recover following that game.

Noel has tallied 85 carries for 503 yards and two scores this season along with 14 grabs for 45 yards.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Alabama Noel (foot) is out for Saturday's game vs. Alabama.

Impact Noel was initially reported as out earlier in the week, and while the SEC official injury report listed him as doubtful shortly after, the star running back will ultimately miss the marquee matchup against the Crimson Tide. This means Marcus Carroll and Jamal Roberts are expected to lead Missouri's backfield in this one, while Noel's next chance to play will come against Oklahoma on Nov. 9 following the bye week.

Officially considered doubtful Noel (foot) is officially listed as doubtful for Missouri's huge game against Alabama.

Impact Noel was previously reported by Pete Thamel of ESPN to be out for the Alabama game. Now, he's officially listed as doubtful, but he's worth considering extremely doubtful, leaning towards out. If the tailback indeed can't go, he'd likely be replaced by Marcus Carroll in the Tigers' backfield.

Out vs. Crimson Tide Noel (foot) won't play in Missouri's top-25 matchup with Alabama on Saturday, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The tailback was considered in doubt to suit up in Tuscaloosa, so this comes as little surprise. Noel has been ruled out before the Wednesday availability report dropped, so the tailback likely wasn't that close to playing. He's been the Tigers' top tailback with 503 yards and two touchdowns on the ground while averaging 5.9 yards-per-carry. In his stead, Marcus Carroll should assume his role as the top running back for Missouri.

OCTOBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Noel played just 14 snaps in Saturday's 21-17 win over Auburn, tallying six carries for 32 yards, but the severity of the injury hasn't been fully disclosed yet, so the next few days will be pivotal to see whether Noel can suit up against the Crimson Tide or not. If he doesn't, then Marcus Carroll and Jamal Roberts would be candidates for bigger roles out of the backfield.

Impact Noel is still listed as questionable for Missouri's matchup, but this news brings more promise for a return to the field after a one-game hiatus due to back tightness. The senior running back has 79 attempts for 471 yards and two touchdowns so far this season, but if he's unable to play then running back Marcus Carroll should fill in and get the bulk of the carries in the Tigers' backfield.

Impact There was no mention of the issue leading up to Saturday's game but it was clear something was wrong after Noel didn't receive a carry in the first half. It's now known that the running back is battling back tightness. Marcus Carroll -- who scored twice in the first half -- should continue to operate as the Tigers' lead back. Noel's next chance to play will come Oct. 19 against Auburn.
