Mizzou's James Franklin to miss time
ATHENS, Ga. -- Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said he expects quarterback James Franklin to be out at least the next couple of weeks, and possibly longer, after suffering a separated right throwing shoulder Saturday in the fourth quarter of the No. 25 Tigers' 41-26 win against No. 7 Georgia.
Pinkel said he didn't know the degree of Franklin's separation, but he would know more Sunday.
The senior quarterback, who was plagued by injuries all of last season, watched the remainder of Saturday's game from the sideline with his arm in a sling.
Redshirt freshman Maty Mauk replaced Franklin and made several key plays to help keep the Tigers (6-0, 2-0 SEC) unbeaten.
"I don't want to give you a number that's not accurate, but it looks like the next few weeks (Franklin) will be out," Pinkel said.
Some of Franklin's teammates talked Saturday as if it could be longer.
"It's a huge loss. I'm saddened by it. I'm a James Franklin fan. It's a huge loss, especially the way that guy had been playing," Missouri senior receiver L'Damian Washington said.
"You can enjoy this win. But at the same time, you really can't because I know most of what I do is because of James Franklin. He's that good. I have faith in Maty Mauk. I know he's going to step up. He has to lead this team right now. He doesn't have a choice."
Franklin was visibly upset in the locker room after the game.
"I feel for him," Pinkel said. "He was having such a great year."
