Missouri junior RB Henry Josey will miss the 2012 season while recovering from his 2011 knee injury in which he suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and patella tendon.
This news is somewhat expected, despite Josey running 100-yard sprints during offseason workouts. As a sophomore last season, he had 1,168 yards rushing with an eye-opening 8.1 yards per carry before his season was cut short. We wonder if he will be granted a medical redshirt for this season and keep his two years of eligibility. Mon, Aug 27, 2012 05:49:00 PM

While Henry Josey could return for the 2012 season, it is not a likely scenario as the running back recovers from a devastating knee injury.

Josey was having a monster season when he tore up his knee against Texas on Nov. 12, an injury that may require a second major surgery. Hence, it would not be right to expect Josey to take the field next season. He has two years of eligibility remaining. As a sophomore last season, he had 1,168 yards rushing with an eye-opening 8.1 ypc when his season was cut short.

Missouri running back Henry Josey has been making it look easy as the Big 12’s leading rusher.

In a conference that is dominated by big passing numbers, Josey is a run-right-at-you type of back. He leads the conference and is fourth nationally with an average of 127 yards per game. He has rushed for at least 129 yards in five of the last six weeks and will look to continue such a pace against Baylor this week.

With Kendial Lawrence out at least one month with a leg fracture, sophomore Henry Josey could emerge as Missouri’s starting tailback.

The Tigers have Arizona State on Friday night and coach Gary Pinkel has an unsettled backfield. At least he has some pieces with which to work. QB James Franklin was the leading rusher against Miami (Ohio) with 72 yards, something that cannot become habit. With Lawrence out, Josey stepped in and had 43 yards on only six carries. He had 437 yards and a hefty 5.8 average last season. De’Vion Moore was the leading returning rusher with 517 yards (5.2) and 8 TDs a year ago, yet had only 23 yards on six carries against the Redhawks. Pinkel said he will take it week to week when it comes to naming a starter.
