Sources: Missouri QB Pribula on track to return

Pribula was fortunate to not have suffered an ankle fracture from his dislocation, and he is medically cleared to play, sources previously told ESPN.

He has emerged as an effective dual-threat quarterback in the SEC, completing just under 70% of his passes. Pribula has thrown for 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions and run for 220 yards on 71 carries. He has scored five rushing touchdowns.

Pribula’s return comes at a crucial time for the No. 22 Missouri Tigers as they take on Oklahoma in Week 13. The Sooners need to secure a win this weekend to keep their playoff hopes alive, and with Pribula back in contention, the two team’s offenses stack up closely.
