Missouri football’s scrimmage Saturday marked a major milestone for junior wide receiver Nate Brown.
He was sidelined for the 2016 season because of torn ligaments and muscle damage on the outside of his left ankle, an injury that required surgery to place a “huge plate” in his foot last September and forced him to take an unexpected redshirt season.
Brown also was shut down early during spring practice to have a torn labrum in his right shoulder repaired.
That meant last weekend’s scrimmage was the first time in nearly two years he’d taken a real full-speed wallop on the gridiron.
