Christian Barmore’s availability for Missouri game is still in question

Alabama plays Missouri in less than three days and it may be without one of it’s most promising young defensive linemen.

Redshirt sophomore Christian Barmore, who suffered a knee injury during fall camp is still recovering and head coach Nick Saban still isn’t certain whether the big man will be able to give it a go during Saturday’s game.

“I can’t really decide or say right now,” said Saban during his Wednesday press conference. “He’s done a little more each day. I think when you have an injury like this, sometimes the more you do, it creates a little soreness and then you have to back off a little bit, then you can do a little bit more the next day.
