(AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)In his latest update on senior quarterback Kelly Bryant and his strained hamstring, Barry Odom said on his Thursday radio show that a final call won’t be made until Saturday. “He’s made progress every day this week,” Odom said. “I think we’re going to have to look at it as a game-time decision. And I think the most important thing that you look at (with) those decisions is you really rely on your sports medicine staff and the docs that are trained to do those things. But also you look at (the question), is the student-athlete in position to be able to function the way that they need to to participate to play at the level that they need to?” Bryant first suffered the injury on the second series of MU’s last game, at Kentucky on Oct. 26. He played another seven possessions before leaving the game for good. If he’s ruled out Saturday, backup Taylor Powell will make his first career start — against the No. 1 defense in the SEC.
