The SEC's James Franklin will miss part of spring practice. That's the Missouri Tigers quarterback, not the Vanderbilt Commodores coach. We're going to have to get used to this. A shoulder injury will keep the Mizzou starter out for an undetermined period:
Sprained right shoulder for Missouri quarterback James Franklin, per MU. Expected to return at some point this spring. Timetable unknown

With third-or-so-stringer Ashton Glaser sustaining an arrest, this could be wide receiver T.J. Moe's chance to seize the reins as the signal caller. Yes? He did throw a few passes last year. No.
Franklin, who's been running offseason workouts according to Gary Pinkel, is expected to be one of the SEC's best three or four quarterbacks as a junior.
