LSU junior running back Leonard Fournette will miss his second game of the season against Missouri.
LSU (2-2, 1-1 SEC) meets Missouri (2-1, 0-1 SEC) at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Tiger Stadium.
Fournette, who has not practiced all week, is still dealing with a high ankle sprain that he injured in fall camp and again versus Wisconsin on Sept. 3.
Fournette was dressed in a white LSU polo and purple sweat pants instead of shoulders pad and helmet on Saturday.

The 6-foot-1, 235-pound tailback sat out LSU’s 34-10 win against Jacksonville State and former LSU coach Les Miles said Fournette might have been “nicked” against Auburn last weekend.
