Impact Cook was previously announced as the starter, but now he's officially going to play for the Tigers a week after his high ankle sprain.

Announced as starter Cook (ankle) was announced as the starting quarterback for Missouri ahead of Saturday's game versus Alabama, Tony Tsoukalas of Rivals.com reports.

Impact It's an important distinction that he was only announced as the starter on the video board, as those announcements don't always come to fruition. Cook officially remains a game-time decision, and there may be no definitive answer as to who will start until the offense takes the field for the first drive.

Warming up Saturday Cook (ankle) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game at Alabama, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Cook is getting loose and testing his ankle ahead of Saturday's massive contest. His status is still uncertain but it's certainly a good sign for his chances to play. If he's unable to go, Drew Pyne would start for the Tigers.

Game time decision Saturday Cook (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Missouri's matchup versus Alabama on Saturday, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.

Officially questionable for Saturday Cook (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Alabama.

Impact Cook's status has been uncertain all week long, and even if he ends up playing, he won't be 100 percent ready. The fact that Cook didn't do anything active in practice complicates his chances even further. If he can't go, then Drew Pyne will be the starter under center.

Considered doubtful Cook (ankle) is considered doubtful for Missouri's game against Alabama, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cook has reportedly been extremely limited in practice, and it doesn't look good regarding his availability Saturday in Tuscaloosa.

May not be practicing Cook (lower leg) was at Missouri's practice but head coach Eli Drinkwitz wouldn't divulge if the quarterback was participating, ESPN 100.5 reports.
