Missouri QB Sam Horn Leaves Opener With Leg Injury, Later Seen in Cast

The redshirt junior, a recent Dodgers draftee, returned to football after Tommy John surgery.

Overview

  • On his first snap of the season, Horn gained six yards on a designed run before taking a hard low hit to his lower body.
  • Trainers helped him off as he put little weight on his right leg, and later photos showed him on crutches with a leg cast.
  • Horn was ruled out for the remainder of the game and did not reappear on the sideline before halftime, per local reports.
  • Coach Eli Drinkwitz had planned for Beau Pribula to play the first half and Horn the second, though Horn entered on the second series.
  • Horn, a dual-sport athlete who missed 2024 after Tommy John surgery, was drafted by the Dodgers in July and signed for $497,500.
